Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Shows how basic principles may be used to predict the performance of aircraft engines and rockets and to illuminate their design limitations. Stresses the application of the reader's theoretical knowledge to several real devices, pointing toward the engineering objectives of propulsion, and provides a method of examining the potential of new concepts.
Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Synopsis:

In this textbook, the authors show that a few fundamental principles can provide an understanding of all modes of aircraft and spacecraft propulsion. The book also demonstrates how these fundamental principles can lead directly to useful quantitative assessments of performance as well as possibilities for improvement.
