Aerospace Propulsion Systems is a unique book that focuses on propulsion systems commonly used in aerospace vehicles today; e.g., rockets, piston aero engines, gas turbine engines, ramjets, and scramjets. Ward introduces each system, imparting an understanding of basic engineering principles, describing key functionality mechanisms used in past and modern designs, and providing guidelines to assist students design their own projects. The author presents a balance of theory, fundamental performance analysis, and design. The book is specifically targeted to students or professionals new to the field and features an intuitive, systematic format to enhance learning.Aerospace Propulsion Systems is a unique book that focuses on each type of propulsion system commonly used in aerospace vehicles today; e.g., rockets, piston aero engines, gas turbine engines, ramjets, and scramjets.
