737NG Training Syllabus


Book Description

737NG Training Syllabus is a highly detailed, full color book virtually crammed with original graphics and thousands of words of descriptive text that will provide a complete training syllabus for persons wishing to learn to operate the 737NG jet airliner. While intended specifically for the Flight Simulation market, even professional airline pilots will find the information useful and informative. This is a guide intended to teach "simmers" how to fly the jet the way "the Pros do". Learning to fly the 737NG like a real pilot is a challenging and exciting adventure awaiting computer-pilots. However, as the increasing complexity of the ADD-ON airplane models blurs the boundary between Professional flight training and flight simulation "games", the task seems very difficult .. or even impossible. Captain Mike Ray's "737NG Training Syllabus" IS the document that will make this transition not only possible, but entertaining and ... well, a whole lot more simple. Written for the beginner as well as the veteran simmer, the profusely illustrated material is crammed with details, diagrams, explanations and useful information. The material starts slowly but builds to a crescendo. It includes a section for the "knows nothing" Ab-initio wannabe pilot and builds to provide information and operational procedures that will provide interesting and useful insight to even the professional airline pilot community.This beautiful and unique document provides the access toolset to the knowledge base that will allow the ordinary garden variety flight sim addict to cross the bridge between operating the current state of the art home based PC flight simulation programs and the real airline style simulator. This book is a MUST HAVE item for the 737NG computer pilot who wants to fly the incredibly accurate add-on airplanes as if they were real pilots.This paperback Black and White version of Captain Mike Ray's book on training to fly the 737NG is a great bargain. You get all the same information that is in the pricier (but more beautiful) color version ... and the same graphic and text that makes the volume such a popular item for both professional airline pilots as well as Flight Simmers. So get a copy ... and learn to fly the 737NG like the pros do.

Conceptual Aircraft Design


Book Description

Provides a Comprehensive Introduction to Aircraft Design with an Industrial Approach This book introduces readers to aircraft design, placing great emphasis on industrial practice. It includes worked out design examples for several different classes of aircraft, including Learjet 45, Tucano Turboprop Trainer, BAe Hawk and Airbus A320. It considers performance substantiation and compliance to certification requirements and market specifications of take-off/landing field lengths, initial climb/high speed cruise, turning capability and payload/range. Military requirements are discussed, covering some aspects of combat, as is operating cost estimation methodology, safety considerations, environmental issues, flight deck layout, avionics and more general aircraft systems. The book also includes a chapter on electric aircraft design along with a full range of industry standard aircraft sizing analyses. Split into two parts, Conceptual Aircraft Design: An Industrial Approach spends the first part dealing with the pre-requisite information for configuring aircraft so that readers can make informed decisions when designing vessels. The second part devotes itself to new aircraft concept definition. It also offers additional analyses and design information (e.g., on cost, manufacture, systems, role of CFD, etc.) integral to conceptual design study. The book finishes with an introduction to electric aircraft and futuristic design concepts currently under study. Presents an informative, industrial approach to aircraft design Features design examples for aircraft such as the Learjet 45, Tucano Turboprop Trainer, BAe Hawk, Airbus A320 Includes a full range of industry standard aircraft sizing analyses Looks at several performance substantiation and compliance to certification requirements Discusses the military requirements covering some combat aspects Accompanied by a website hosting supporting material Conceptual Aircraft Design: An Industrial Approach is an excellent resource for those designing and building modern aircraft for commercial, military, and private use.
