Product Description
In the most exhaustive volume to date, this text examines the foundation and current state of aircraft propulsion. The author devotes each chapter to a particular engine type, such as ramjet and pulsejet, and turbofan. Supported by case studies, he illustrates performance under various operating conditions. Part I discusses air-breathing engines. Part II examines rotating and non-rotating components, combustion chambers, and nozzles for all modern jet propulsion and gas turbine systems. A comprehensive analysis of hypersonic engines, along with essential data across the entire field, makes an invaluable resource for civil and military engineers and researchers, as well as mechanical and aeronautical students.
