Product Description

Aircraft Propulsion is an engineering textbook written for students in aerospace and mechanical engineering. The book covers aircraft gas turbine engine and rocket propulsion from its basic principles to more advanced treatments in engine components. Propulsion system integration with aircraft plays an important role in understanding propulsion and is thus addressed in the book. Extensive review material and derivations are intended to help students navigate through the subject with more ease. Over 100 examples and 300 problems are designed to practice the principles learned in jet propulsion and compliment learning through applications. In every engine component, issues related to manufacturing, material properties, temperature limitations and cooling are included to give students an appreciation for the broader scope of propulsion engineering than just aero-thermodynamics. Component matching and off-design analysis is detailed in a separate chapter to provide the physical and performance linkage between the components and their impact on aircraft engines. Principles of chemical rocket propulsion are presented in the context of single-stage to orbit propulsion needs of a rocket-based combined cycle vehicle. The broad treatment of the gas turbine engine cycles and components makes the book suitable as a reference for propulsion and turbomachinery engineers, gas turbine industry and professional development courses.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good First Edition Book, Jan 12 2010

By J. Vines - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Aircraft Propulsion (Hardcover)

I got this book for a class I was taking and it has a good review of thermodynamics in the first part of the book. There are plenty of examples to help reinforce each topic and usually there is a cumulative example at the end of a each major section. The notation is in line with that at major design firms. The reason this gets a 4/5 instead of 5/5 is there are some typos which are very tricky. In some places the exponent of an equation will be flipped or the wrong equation will be referenced. There weren't many of these and hopefully they will be fixed in a second edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great book. Few information about propeller engines., April 13 2012

Great book for engineering basics but it has few data about propeller engines and reverser system. It would be important also to include one chapter about materials.

Good book. Must have for Aero Engineers. Try to get a good teacher for this subject as well and it will pay huge dividends.
