Rolls Royce - The Jet Engine
 

Does anyone own a copy of this book?

Is it worth buying for my ATPL aircraft gen knowledge exam.

Many thanks.

i've got one, and it helped me an enormous amount through my aero. eng. course. can't yet comment on atpl though, but a good book for your collection nonetheless!

Yes - I was fortunate to be given a copy in the late 70s.

It contains everything you are ever likely to want to know about jet engines, helped me through my CAA engines exam and I still refer to it occassionally. Clear text and great colour pictures.

I don't know its current price so whether it's worth buying for A/C Gen is a mute point. If your course material is 'light weight' then yes, but I should like to think only buy as a back-up.

RR are selling the book for £25 which is a bargain IMHO.

Still tempted....birthday soon so might get someone to buy it for me :ok:

Richard,

Please tell how!!!

A customer of the bank I worked for was a RR engineer and knew of my interest. Those where the days!

£25 considering the quality as good value.

I found it invaluable during my ATPL studies, the diagrams are fantastic.

Well worth the £25

An excellent book. Very in-depth, but idiot proof!! Given to BA Engineers when they start their apprenticeships. As said before, great back up book and excellent to top up ATPL studies.
