Avotek Publishes New Edition of Aircraft Turbine Engines Textbook

Avotek’s latest textbook, Aircraft Turbine Engines, second edition is now available. The authors, Purdue University professors Thomas W. Wild and John Michael Davis, updated this classic textbook to explain the latest in turbine engine technology and manufacturing practices. Notable changes for the second edition:
