Ace the Tech

Hi

Busy going through "Ace" for my upcoming C.P. interview, and have found a bit of a funny discription of "Wide Chord Fan Blades" Basically it describes the 'Chord' as the blades length from it's centre mounting to it's tip. Rolls Royce describes it as the Blades "Bredth" wich set's them apart from other Blades.

Now i'm not putting the book down, as it has been a useful aide, although time consuming as i now double check everything. But i thought perhaps you guys and girls could give some feedback to any other "Duff Gen" that may be in the book, for all of our benifit. I know that the ' Dutch Roll' discription is another stinker.

Cheers

Overall a good book for a an interview prep.

Page 4, formula for Life is incorrect you do not add the values in the formula, they are multiplied.

They asked me in the interview what I used as prep, and I mentioned this book. The next question then was what mistakes were made in the book, so be prepared!
