Aircraft Turbine Engine Safety Volume 1A: Problem Oriented Technology for Professionals

The safety of aircraft engines has reached a high degree. However, the ever-increasing number of aircraft necessitates continual effort in order to reduce the absolute number of engine problems. This book is intended to give professionals who deal with the safety of turbine aircraft engines an overview of engine-related problems. The reader should become able to recognize the complex relationships that are typical for the subject matter, and be able to ask the right questions, provide correct answers, and be able to analyze these properly.In my opinion, there is no better approach than the analysis and evaluation of incidents relating to safety, since the maxim „learn from damage“ still holds true. I have asked myself how it might be possible to impart this experience, which can only be gained from actual practical work in the field. Therefore, I have attempted to take examples from technical literature and analyze and explain them, relying on many years of practical experience and an understanding of the technical backgrounds.This particular type of book was chosen in order to increase the effectiveness of the learning progress, present the complex relationships in an understandable manner, and motivate the reader. It relies to a large degree on visual depictions and is similar to overhaul manuals used in turbine engine-related fields. Concise explanations and labels based on my experience and evaluations of the subject matter of diagrams are intended to pique the readers interest. This may be the first time that the familiarity of current generations with comics as an explanatory media has been applied to a comprehensive technical text. Read more
