Fundamentals of Aircraft and Rocket Propulsion provides information about and analyses of: thermodynamic cycles of shaft engines (piston, turboprop, turboshaft and propfan) jet engines (pulsejet, pulse detonation engine, ramjet, scramjet, turbojet and turbofan) chemical and non-chemical rocket engines conceptual design of modular rocket engines (combustor, nozzle and turbopumps) and. Each type of engine is analyzed for optimum performance goals, and mission-appropriate engines selection is explained. The text classifies engines powering aircraft and single/multi-stage rockets, and derives performance parameters for both from basic aerodynamics and thermodynamics laws. This book provides a comprehensive basics-to-advanced course in an aero-thermal science vital to the design of engines for either type of craft.
