Explore the latest edition of a leading resource on sustainable
aviation, alternative jet fuels, and new propulsion systems The
newly revised Third Edition of Aircraft Propulsion delivers a
comprehensive update to the successful Second Edition with a
renewed focus on the integration of sustainable aviation concepts.
The book tackles the impact of aviation on the environment at the
engine component level, as well as the role of propulsion system
integration on fuel burn. It also discusses combustion emissions,
including greenhouse gases, carbon monoxide, unburned hydrocarbons
(UHC), and oxides of nitrogen (NOx). Alternative jet fuels, like
second generation biofuels and hydrogen, are presented. The
distinguished author covers aviation noise from airframe to engine
and its impact on community noise in landing and takeoff cycles.
The book includes promising new technologies for propulsion and
power, like the ultra-high bypass (UHB) turbofan and
hybrid-electric and electric propulsion systems. Readers will also
benefit from the inclusion of discussions of unsteady propulsion
systems in wave-rotor combustion and pulse-detonation engines, as
well as: A thorough introduction to the history of the airbreathing
jet engine, including innovations in aircraft gas turbine engines,
new engine concepts, and new vehicles An exploration of
compressible flow with friction and heat, including a brief review
of thermodynamics, isentropic process and flow, conservation
principles, and Mach numbers A review of engine thrust and
performance parameters, including installed thrust, rocket thrust,
and modern engine architecture A discussion of gas turbine engine
cycle analysis Perfect for aerospace and mechanical engineering
students in the United States and overseas, Aircraft Propulsion
will also earn a place in the libraries of practicing engineers in
the aerospace and green engineering sectors seeking the latest up
to date resource on sustainable aviation technologies. Explore the
