Description
Jet Propulsion is a comprehensive introduction to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic design of modern civil and military jet engines. The book explores the design of two engine projects for a large passenger and a new fighter aircraft, providing a thorough understanding of modern engine design principles. The text covers a range of topics, including aircraft requirements, aerodynamics, gas turbine and jet engine principles, compressible fluid mechanics, and design optimization. The author's approach is demonstrated through two specific projects, one for a twin-engine aircraft designed for high efficiency. This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the design and development of jet engines, providing a self-contained introduction to the subject.
