This book tries to explain in a descriptive way complex concepts of mechanical engineering applied to transport. The means of transportation that are described in the content of the book are automobiles, airplanes, railways and ships.The engineering concepts that are described are laws or principles about motors, energy sources or forces that govern movement (which include aerodynamic force, resistance to movement or propulsion force) among others. To explain this, theories such as Newton's equations, Bernoulli's principle or thermodynamic cycles are shown.In addition, all the mechanical parts necessary for the construction of these means of transport are described so that both the engineering part and the mechanical operation part are known.
