Chapter 3: Mathematics in Aviation Maintenance › Whole Numbers › Addition of Whole Numbers
aircraft equipment. Many examples of using mathematical principles by the aviation mechanic are available. Tolerances in turbine engine components are critical, making it necessary to measure within a ten-thousandth of an inch. Because of these close tolerances ... fractions and surface area calculations are required to perform sheet metal repair on aircraft structures. Whole Numbers Whole numbers are the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and so on. Whole numbers can be thought of as counting numbers…
