5.0 out of 5 stars Best Textbook on Engine Performance, Mar 13 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion w/ IBM 3.5' Disk (Hardcover)

This is the best textbook written on the modeling and performance prediction of gas turbine engines. A systematic method is used to model a variety of engines from the basic turbojet to the advanced afterburning turbofan used in modern fighters. Performance predictions include the effect of engine controls - a unique feature. Turbomachinery design includes structural considerations. This book is a great textbook for junior/senior level courses in aerospace/mechanical engineering. It is being used for a basic course in gas turbine engine and a followup course in engine component design...

4.0 out of 5 stars A Very Good Book With Lots of Useful Information, Sep 5 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion w/ IBM 3.5' Disk (Hardcover)

I bought the book "Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion" in August of 1999 and I still read it almost everyday. It is a very interesting book, but it has a serious flaw in that there are so many errors, it appears that the editor(s) were asleep or out to lunch. It was a great disservice to the author, as I think he was shortchanged by the publisher. Being a former member of the USAF, myself I feel that his work was more meticulous than this. Perhaps the publisher was in such a hurry to hit the presses at all costs, that this is the result. This seems to be the trend in recent years. I believe that one of the major networks did and expose regarding major publishing house oversights in this area.
