1. Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines
2017 by Ahmed F. El-Sayed
The second edition of "Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbine Engines" expands on the success of its predecessor by incorporating three significant areas of focus: Piston Engines with integrated propeller coverage, Pump Technologies, and Rocket Propulsion. This edition broadens the text's coverage to encompass both Aerospace and Aeronautical topics, particularly in the rocket propulsion section, allowing for comprehensive study and comparison. Substantial updates have been integrated to align with the latest advancements in turbine engines, fuels, and combustion. The revised text is now organized into three distinct parts, with the first two dedicated to air breathing engines, while the third segment delves into non-air breathing or rocket engines.

2. Aircraft Propulsion
2014 by Saeed Farokhi
The updated edition of Aircraft Propulsion provides a comprehensive and insightful exploration of airbreathing propulsion, ranging from fundamental principles to advanced topics in engine components and system integration. This second edition incorporates new material on Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Propulsion Systems, General Aviation, including discussions on electric and hybrid propulsion, and the addition of propeller theory to turboprop engine presentations. The book addresses contemporary subjects such as Ultra-High Bypass (UHB) and Geared Turbofan engines, drop-in biofuels, and sustainability design considerations reflecting the FAA's 2025 Vision. To enhance user-friendliness for engine designers, the design guidelines for aircraft engine components are expanded. The text also features an increased number of end-of-chapter problems, with solutions available on a companion website, and includes a new section on engine performance testing and instrumentation. An additional appendix introduces a 10-Minute Quiz section with 45 quizzes, serving as a valuable continuous assessment tool for teaching and learning propulsion principles. Aircraft Propulsion, Second Edition is essential for both graduate and undergraduate students, and proves to be a valuable resource for researchers and professionals in the aerospace and power industry.

3. Theory of Aerospace Propulsion
2011 by Pasquale M. Sforza
"Theory of Aerospace Propulsion" delivers a comprehensive exploration of aerospace propulsion systems, encompassing propellers, nuclear rockets, and space propulsion. The book employs an in-depth, quantitative approach to the components of jet propulsion engines, equipping readers with the tools for assessing and optimizing system performance through evaluation and component matching. Through worked examples and end-of-chapter exercises, the book provides valuable practice for analysis, preliminary design, and systems integration. Readers will gain the ability to apply fundamental principles of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics for aircraft engine analysis, understand various gas turbine aircraft propulsion systems, and conduct system studies for specified flight conditions. The book covers a wide range of topics, including idealized flow machines, cycle analysis of jet engines, combustion chambers, turbomachinery, propellers, rockets (liquid, solid propellant, nuclear), space propulsion, and aspects of high-speed flight. Aimed at aerospace or mechanical engineers in gas turbines, turbomachinery, aircraft propulsion, and rocket propulsion, as well as undergraduate and graduate students studying aerospace propulsion or turbomachinery, this book provides a thorough and practical resource for understanding and designing diverse propulsion systems.

4. Aerospace Propulsion Systems
2010 by Thomas A. Ward
"Aerospace Propulsion Systems" is a distinctive book that delves into each commonly used propulsion system in contemporary aerospace vehicles, encompassing rockets, piston aero engines, gas turbine engines, ramjets, and scramjets. Authored by Dr. Thomas A. Ward, the book offers an in-depth exploration of each system, providing a solid understanding of basic engineering principles, elucidating key functionality mechanisms utilized in both historical and modern designs, and offering practical guidance for student design projects. Catering to individuals new to the field, the book strikes a balance between theory, fundamental performance analysis, and design. Organized intuitively and systematically, it covers all engine types, presents design principles in historical order for progressive comprehension, and showcases example systems from various countries. Richly illustrated with detailed photographs and featuring cartoon panels for a reader-friendly approach, the book includes carefully constructed problems, making it an accessible guide for advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and engineering professionals entering the realm of propulsion. The comprehensive resource also serves as a valuable reference for field experts explaining propulsion matters to diverse audiences, including engineers, technicians, businessmen, or policy makers. Lecture materials for instructors are available on the book's companion website.
