Aircraft-Aviation/Aircraft-Aviation Engineering 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: * * * * * * * * *

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 (offdesign) 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.

9) Understanding Flight [McGraw-Hill]
