Helicopter turboshaft engines, afterburner turbojets on supersonic fighter jets, turboprops on freighter aircraft, and high bypass ratio turbofan engines on large commercial aircraft are part of the family of propulsion systems known as aero jets, which power and propel virtually all of today's aircraft.
This hegemony stems from three fundamental characteristics: high thrust per unit weight, high range of flight speeds, and high reliability. This book explains its fundamentals and explores its limitations.
The book develops their basic theory, fundamentally their engine thermodynamics and propulsive mechanics, to anticipate the main constraints on their design.
Thus, it lays the foundation for the conceptual design of these systems and is a good starting point for those readers or students who later wish to delve into their detailed design.
