This book is one of the best on the market covering the topic of aircraft propulsion. There is no question that Aircraft Propulsion and Gas Turbines, 2nd Edition deserves your attention should you consider employment in gas turbines industry or are developing an academic course for your university. It is a resource that should be on everyone's shelf.
- Kenneth W. Van Treuren, Baylor University, Texas, USA
This book is truly a broad scope text on aerospace propulsion covering the whole spectrum of technologies from gas turbine engines, to propellers and space propulsion technologies. The book at its heart is a comprehensive text on aircraft gas turbine engines, hence the title. However, the author has updated the first edition of this text to include more contemporary topics such as a discussion on biofuel economic viability and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) propulsion technologies as well as extending the scope to cover rocket and space propulsion technologies.
Overall this is a good comprehensive textbook for Aerospace Propulsion and for instructors looking for a catch all text this is certainly an excellent option and it would serve well on any undergraduate aerospace engineering course as a good introduction to most aerospace propulsion technologies. The more comprehensive gas turbine sections would cover more senior undergraduate and taught postgraduate courses.
