Jet propulsion : a simple guide to the aerodynamics [i.e. aerodynamic] and thermodynamic design and performance of jet engines

This second edition of Cumpsty's self-contained introduction to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic design of modern civil and military jet engines features two engine design projects. The first is for a new large passenger aircraft, and the second for a new fighter aircraft. The text introduces, illustrates and explains the important facets of modern engine design. Thoroughly updated and revised, this edition includes a new appendix on noise control and expanded treatment of combustion emissions.

Throughly updated and revised, including a new appendix on noise control and expanded treatment of emissions. Suitable for student courses in aircraft propulsion, and an invaluable reference for aerospace engineers. This book is a self-contained introduction to the design of modern civil and military jet engines through two-engine design projects for a large passenger and a new fighter aircraft. Numerous exercises, with solutions for the instructor, are included. The book emphasizes principles enriched by industrial examples from the author's experience. This text provides a self-contained introduction to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic design of modern civil and military jet engines. Two engine design projects are used to illustrate the important facets of modern engine design This chapter looks at some of the commercial requirements and background to the proposals to build a new civil airliner capable of carrying about 600 people.
