Win The Engines Of Pratt Whitney:A Technical History As Told By The Engineers Who Made The History (Library Of Flight) Illustrated By Jack Connors Represented In Digital Copy

Engines of Pratt amp Whitney: A Technical History" describes the evolution from piston engines to gas turbines by the engineers who created those engines.
Included are hundreds of archival photographs, as well as over a dozen tables listing specifications and applications, The story starts with the founding of the company in thes to provide reliable aircooled piston engines to the military and to help create coasttocoast commercial

flight service.
Pratt amp Whitney quickly dominated commercial and military flight in thes, ultimately providing half the horsepower of American engines during World War II, Jack Connors explains how Pratt amp Whitney came from behind the competition in developing gas turbines after the war with the debut of the J, which powered the Binand later the Air Force Century Series fighters F, F, and Fand the Navy AD, FD, and Fairplanes.
Also covered is the development of the J, which powered the MachYFand SRaircraft and subsequent military engines the Fin the Fand Fthe Fin the Fand, the Fin the Fseries.
Pratt amp Whitney's contribution to the luxury commercial jet era travel is also detailed, with its JT, JTD, JT, JTD, JTD, PW, PW, and PWin Boeing, Douglas, and Airbus aircraft.
This history of Pratt amp Whitney's role in the evolution of aircraft engines fromto the present day offers young engineers a wealth of insights about design, development, marketing, and product support for commercial and military customers.
