Whilst so much modern books within the aerospace propulsion box are committed basically to gasoline turbine engines, there's frequently very little assurance of alternative propulsion structures and units corresponding to propeller and helicopter rotors or distinctive cognizance to rocket engines. by means of taking a much broader perspective, Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion goals to supply a broader context, permitting observations and comparisons to be made throughout platforms which are missed by means of targeting a unmarried point by myself. The physics and background of aerospace propulsion are outfitted on step by step, coupled with the advance of an appreciation for the math keen on the technological know-how and engineering of propulsion.
Combining the author’s adventure as a researcher, an specialist and a lecturer in graduate and undergraduate aerospace engineering, Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion covers its material either theoretically and with an wisdom of the practicalities of the undefined. to make sure that the content material is obvious, consultant but in addition fascinating the textual content is complimented by means of a number proper graphs and images together with consultant engineering, as well as a number of propeller functionality charts. these things offer very good reference and help fabrics for graduate and undergraduate initiatives and exercises.
Students within the box of aerospace engineering will locate that Powered Flight - The Engineering of Aerospace Propulsion helps their reviews from the introductory degree and all through extra in depth follow-on reviews.
