Preface to the Eighth Edition

The purpose of Aircraft Basic Science is to provide the general technical information needed as a foundation for work as a technician in the field of aviation maintenance. The subjects covered in this text are those that are usually applicable to both airframes and powerplants and their associated systems. The material is of a general nature since, in addition to applying to the maintenance technician, it is also relevant to many related fields of study in aviation.

This edition has been updated to reflect changes in the aerospace industry as well as in regulatory information, and meets the requirements for general subject material specified in FAR Part 147. Electricity and electronics are not covered but are treated in detail elsewhere.

In particular, the text has been updated in the areas of high-speed aerodynamics and properties of advanced materials and composites, as well as to reflect the many FAA and regulatory changes that might be expected in this highly regulated industry. This book, when used along with complementary books and in conjunction with classroom and laboratory instruction, will provide the student with the technical information needed to qualify for certification as an airframe and powerplant technician.

This book is intended as a text and general reference book for individuals involved in aircraft maintenance and operation. The material presented is for use in understanding aircraft materials, processes, practices, and operations. Technical information contained in this book should not substitute for that provided by either the FAA or aerospace manufacturers.

Preface to the Seventh Edition

Aircraft Basic Science is one of five textbooks in the Aviation Technology Series. Its purpose is to provide the general technical information needed as a foundation for work as a technician in the field of aviation maintenance. The subjects covered in this text are those that are usually applicable to both airframes and powerplants and their associated systems. The material is of a general nature since, in addition to applying to the maintenance technician, it is also applicable to many related fields of study in aviation.

This edition has been updated to include many recent advances in aviation technology and, with the exception of electricity, has been revised to meet the requirements for general subject material specified in FAR Part 147. Electricity and electronics are not covered but are treated in detail in another text in this series.

The current aging-aircraft situation requires that the maintenance technician have more knowledge of materials, processes, and inspection procedures. The chapter involving fabrication processes has been expanded to provide more information in this area.
