1) Aircraft Engine Design, 2nd Edition [AIAA Education Series]

The text presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design

experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final
engine layout, the book provides the concepts and procedures required
for the entire process. It is a significantly expanded and modernized
version of the best-selling first edition that emphasizes recent
developments impacting engine design such as theta break-throttle
ratio, life management, controls, and stealth. The key steps of the
process are detailed in 10 chapters that encompass aircraft constraint
analysis, aircraft mission analysis, engine parametric (design point)
analysis, engine performance (off-design) analysis, engine installation
drag and sizing, and the design of inlets, fans, compressors, main
combustors, turbines, afterburners, and exhaust nozzles.

2) Fundamentals of Airplane Flight Mechanics [Springer]

Flight mechanics is the application of Newton's laws to the study of

vehicle trajectories (performance), stability, and aerodynamic control.
This volume details the derivation of analytical solutions of airplane
flight mechanics problems associated with flight in a vertical plane.

It covers trajectory analysis, stability, and control. In addition, the

volume presents algorithms for calculating lift, drag, pitching moment,
and stability derivatives. Throughout, a subsonic business jet is used as
an example for the calculations presented in the book.

3) Gas Turbine Performance [Blackwell Publishing]

A significant addition to the literature on gas turbine technology, the

second edition of Gas Turbine Performance is a lengthy text covering
product advances and technological developments. Including extensive
figures, charts, tables and formulae, this book will interest everyone
concerned with gas turbine technology, whether they are designers,
marketing staff or users.
4) Airplane Aerodynamics and Performance [DARCorporation]

Nearly all aerospace engineering curricula include a course on airplane

aerodynamics and airplane performance as required material. This
textbook delivers a comprehensive account of airplane aerodynamics
and performance.

In this revised edition of Airplane Aerodynamics and Performance

exhaustive coverage is provided for the atmosphere and basic
aerodynamic principles and applications.

The practical aerodynamics and performance applications are stressed

with new examples and illustrations. This widely used book has been
updated with modern airplane and aerodynamic data.

Airplane Aerodynamics and Performance has been internationally

acclaimed as a practical reference that covers the methodology and
decision making involved in the process of analyzing airplane
performance, and is currently used by educators and industry
practitioners across the globe as both a textbook and a key reference.
Reader confusion is minimized through a systematic progression of
fundamentals:

* Airfoil Theory
* Wing Theory
* Airplane Drag
* Airplane Propulsion Systems
* Propeller Theory
* Climb Performance and Speed
* Take-Off and Landing Performance
* Range and Endurance
* Maneuvers and Flight Envelope
5) Civil Jet Aircraft Design [American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics, Inc.]

This book represents a comprehensive introduction to the modern

process of designing transport aircraft from the preliminary stages of
conceptual design to detail design of major aircraft components,
including cost analysis and optimization. The three authors ensure a
balanced presentation, with viewpoints from an educator, a practicing
engineer/designer, and an official from the Civil Aviation Authority,
United Kingdom. One of the main objectives of this text is to introduce
students to the procedures and practices of civil aircraft design
involving conflicting requirements of performance, quality, safety, and
environmental issues. The first part of the text deals with the main
elements of the preliminary design process for principal aircraft
components of a civil transport, including the parametric methods
used to define the baseline design configuration. The second part
describes the use of spreadsheet methods in aircraft design on four
separate design studies.

6) Elements of Propulsion-Gas Turbines and Rockets [AIAA

Education Series]

This text provides a complete introduction to gas turbine and rocket

propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. Building on the
very successful Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion, textbook coverage
has been expanded to include rocket propulsion and the material on
gas dynamics has been dramatically improved. The text is divided into
four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket
propulsion systems; parametric (design point) and performance (off-
design) analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and
design of major gas turbine engine components (fans, compressors,
turbines, inlets, nozzles, main burners, and afterburners).

Design concepts are introduced early (aircraft and rocket performance

in an introductory chapter) and integrated throughout. Written with
extensive student input on the design of the book, the book builds
upon definitions and gradually develops the thermodynamics, gas
dynamics, rocket engine analysis, and gas turbine engine principles.
The book contains over 100 worked examples and numerous
homework problems so concepts are applied after they are introduced.
Over 600 illustrations and pictures show basic concepts, trends, and
design examples.
7) Jet Engines-Fundamentals of Theory, Design, and Operation
[Motorbooks International]

Broaden your knowledge of jet engine technology and its associated

subjects. This is a technically comprehensive study of the components
that constitute a gas turbine aero-engine and examines each part's
design and function in practice. Concentrates on turbojet, turboprop
and turbofan designs, and is applicable to civilian and military usage.
Contains an overview of the main design types and fundamentals, and
looks at air intakes, compressors, turbines and exhaust systems in
great detail.

This particular ebook is a scan from the original book. The quality is
somewhat degraded, but it is readable, and is probably the best scan
available to date.

8) The Avionics Handbook [CRC Press]

Avionics provide crews and passengers with an array of capabilities.

crews can operate with fewer pilots, greater efficiency, and immediate
critical information. Passengers can enjoy the ultimate in inflight
entertainment: live television and audio broadcasts and access to the
Internet and e-mail. Since avionics are the among most expensive
items on an aircraft, designers are continually challenged to produce
cost-effective, highly reliable hardware. Whether you are a working
engineer or a manager, you need a source you can refer to for the
latest information on any aspect of avionics. The Avionics Handbook
presents complete coverage of the field, from the building blocks of a
typical system through the process used in designing, building, and
testing modern military and civil aircraft avionics systems. It includes
examples from emerging technologies, such as pilot-aircraft speech
interaction and synthetic vision. With contributions from top
practitioners in the field, this volume presents a complete overview of
avionics to give you the knowledge you need to approach any problem.
