Bøker i AIAA Education Series-serien

Provides an introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. This text is divided into four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket propulsion systems; parametric and performance analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of major gas turbine engine components.

Provides a project-based learning experience for engineering students, who are tasked with designing a hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle. This experience guides students through the same process that a team of engineers would follow by breaking a large design problem into smaller, more tractable subproblems.

A self-contained text for those interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. The book provides a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas.

Presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final engine layout, this book outlines the concepts and procedures required for the entire process.
