English-French Aeronautical-Technical Dictionary

English-French Aeronautical-Technical Dictionary

(OP)
Folks... help....

I have a friend who will be spending 90--180-days late this year at a French airline maintenance facility providing liaison engineering support (depot maintenance start-up). He is unfamiliar with the French language and needs an outstanding dictionary of aeronautical-technical terms.

Needs explicit English-French terms used in aerospace for detail parts, materials, structures, mechanical systems, maintenance, assembly, operation, flight, etc are needed. Unfortunately my great aero-technical dictionaries are limited to English or English-Spanish [Espanol].

Anyone recommend a downloadable document or book to meet this need??? Please advise!  

Regards, Wil Taylor

verymadmac... Thanks!

Not bad... but took a while to figure-out how to use it.

Single specific item was not hard.

Multi-word descriptors on a base-word... think backwards (anti-english) starting on the based word!

blind rivet = rivet blind

But.... I never did find "blind bolt"... although I might be able to guess, combining "bolt and blind"....maybe.

I also have a special book coming from our library ... I'll review it, as soon as I get it in the mail.

Wil Taylor,

I use a book developed by Aerospatiale used during the early Airbus days - it translates French aerospace words and phrases into English, German, and Spanish. It is very helpful and the phrases are very common to everyday aircraft maintenance. It is over 800 pages.

The book - Dictionnaire Aerospatial was published by Gauthier-Villars in 1984 and a quick internet search listed it as available for 50 Euros on PriceMinister. It may be easier to purchase once the gentlemen is in France.

Good Hunting

Brian

Thanks for the feedback... definitely a "hard-to-find" item... but possible.
