Modern technology is incorporated throughout Aircraft Basic Science, Eighth Edition, including the use of composite aircraft materials. Furthermore, the figures and examples have been updated to better reflect the current state of the industry. Alongside the text, a Student Study Guide offers multiple-choice questions to verify learning progress and fill-in-the-blank exercises that highlight important vocabulary and apply mathematical relationships. The use, examination, and construction of composite structures, including those made of honeycomb, fiberglass, and carbon fiber materials, are covered in Aircraft Basic Science, Eighth Edition. Aerodynamics of hypersonic flight as it relates to fast aircraft and space reentry vehicles The design and aerodynamics of tilt-rotor aircraft Novel alloys and techniques, like friction stir welding and aluminum powder, are utilized in aircraft. Relevant European and worldwide rules and regulations, such as the NASA safety reporting system, ATA systems, electronic document retrieval systems, Maintenance Repair Organizations (MRO), and recordkeeping systems Safety and ground handling for big, airline-style aircraft Biofuels and synthetic fuels are two new alternative fuels that are currently being developed. FAA components for basic aircraft science To carry out and authorize aircraft maintenance, the airframe and certification are necessary.
