World Encyclopaedia of Aero Engines - Tapa dura

Encompassing every major aeroplane engine manufacturer since the Wright brothers, this extensive guide has been revised and updated to cover such technological developments as the unducted fan and the ultra-high-bypass engine, placing each powerplant within its engineering and historical context. The book includes details of Soviet and Chinese as well as Western engines, and is illustrated with many rare and previously unpublished photographs.
