This work introduces students to the amazing and impressive expanse of propulsion systems used in aeronautics and aerospace, ranging from the piston engine and propeller to the rocket. Many examples and problems are included to illustrate the principles common to all propulsion types. Through this approach, students can develop an understanding of the reasons for trends and limitations in design and performance as well as explore the similarities between the types. Intended for use as an undergraduate text, this work should also be a useful reference for practising engineers.
Editorial : From the Publisher Unavailable in any other text, Saarlas introduces students to the amazing and impressive expanse of propulsion systems used in aeronautics and aerospace, ranging from the piston engine and propeller to the rocket. Many examples and problems are included to illustrate the principles common to all propulsion types. Through this approach, students can develop an understanding of the reasons for trends and limitations in design and performance as well as explore the similarities between the types.
Published in 2006, this is an English translation of a book that was originally published in German in 2004. As an excuse they say that such a reproduction is neither "practical" nor "necessary," instead they provide a set of search terms that may or may not allow one to find each image on the Internet.
I am, to say the least, disappointed by this decision. Almost sixty of our earliest surviving New Testament manuscripts are now accepted to have been written before 300 A.D. The coverage of these events is peppered with driver and race anecdotes though actual event coverage is kept to a minimum. So much of what Carlin became and what he dreamed of becoming was influenced by Lenny Bruce. this book is a bit denser than most other introductory general topology books. Lots of great pictures and a good brief history of the development of stealth airplanes at Lockheed. Giddens has an astonishing command of the popular culture of the 20's and 30's (this book ends in 1940.)
