With the revision of the new edition of the reference book "Technology of Aircraft", the leading standard work in this sector has been brought up to date and expanded to include the topic of "Warning Systems". The importance of warning systems is growing exponentially because the risk of aircraft accidents is directly linked to the increasing number of passengers. Various warning systems are used to prevent these as far as possible. This book provides information on the dangers that the individual systems warn of and how they work.
The course also covers the technological fundamentals of aircraft construction that are required in manufacturing and supply companies. Taking into account modern industrial manufacturing, repair and maintenance methods, up-to-date knowledge of aircraft construction is taught. It complements the special learning objectives required in the field of aircraft engineering apprenticeships for aircraft mechanics specializing in production technology, maintenance technology and engine technology and electronics technicians for aeronautical systems.
The following topics are also used for in-house training and further education:
- Introduction to aircraft technology
- Materials, corrosion and surface protection
- Forming, joining and machining with machine tools
- Design of an aircraft
- Aerodynamics and flight mechanics
- Engines, hydraulic, pressure and air conditioning systems
- Helicopters
- Aircraft instruments
- Warning systems
- Electrical power supply
The standard work is aimed at trainers and trainees in the above-mentioned professions of aircraft mechanic and electronics technician for aeronautical systems, but also at participants in in-company and inter-company further training measures at manufacturers and suppliers.
