The text classifies engines powering aircraft and single\/multi-stage rockets, and derives performance parameters for both from basic aerodynamics and thermodynamics laws. Each type of engine is analyzed for optimum performance goals, and mission-appropriate engines selection is explained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion\u003c\/em\u003e provides information about and analyses of:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ethermodynamic cycles of shaft engines (piston, turboprop, turboshaft and propfan);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003ejet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet, scramjet, turbojet and turbofan);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003echemical and non-chemical rocket engines;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003econceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor, nozzle and turbopumps); and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003econceptual design of different modules of aero-engines in their design and off-design state.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAimed at graduate and final-year undergraduate students, this textbook provides a thorough grounding in the history and classification of both aircraft and rocket engines, important design features of all the engines detailed, and particular consideration of special aircraft such as unmanned aerial and short\/vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.End-of-chapter exercises are provided, increasing the book’s value to students.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-06-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781447167945\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4471-6796-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 1010\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer London","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47514982744204,"sku":"9781447167945","price":116.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781447167945_3b3fb4c0-0087-4796-914e-d41db7c1ad2c.jpg?v=1777380985","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781447167945","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
