Thompson, James - Manuel for aircraft hydraulics (1942) (original printed)

This brief treatment of the subject of AIRCRAFT HYDRAULICS, in its three phases OF THEORY, DESIGN, and MAINTENANCE, is presented to the aviation industry in the hope that it may be the answer to the ever-increasing demand from engineers and operating and maintenance personnel for authentic, up-to- the-minute information on the operation, design, and maintenance of hydraulic equipment and Systems. Everyone interested in the subject of hydraulics (and this should include everyone interested in aviation, as hydraulics is rapidly becoming as indispensable a part of an airplane as is its engine) will find the chapter devoted to THEORY of interest and value.

The engineer will be particularly interested in the chapters covering design of actuating cylinders and complete hydraulic Systems.

The operator and mechanic will find the chapters devoted to maintenance and typical hydraulic units of constant value during their daily work. The chapter on theory serves to make clear the operating principles of the individual units discussed, and assists in giving a complete understand- ing of hydraulic equipment maintenance.
