Product Description
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.

 Good Basic Textbook April 4, 2007

The book provides a great foundation in jet propulsion principles and theory for aeronautical engineers. The book is well organized and well written with clear and easy to follow explanations.
This is a reader-friendly book that most people ranging from pilots to mechanical or aeronautical engineering students who require a down to earth book that teaches the fundamentals of jet engines will find interesting and informative.

Very good book, everything you need for the begining.
 Good but spotty January 12, 2006

After reading historical stuff on Whittle, Hooker, Skunk Works, and various other "JET" sources, I was hoping this book would give me lots of good info.
It does - but it doesn't. Spotty information. Sometimes really excellent, other times irritatingly brief and you're turning the page to find... a new topic.
Overall yes, I'd say buy it - but don't expect it to be a "great" read. It really needs some reworking to help it.
Thorough, not too technical August 7, 2005

This book was exactly what I was looking for. I am a third year mechanical engineering student interning with Honeywell. I have a good understanding of mechanical systems in general, but no prior experience with turbine engines. I just wanted a book that I could read in a week or so that would help me understand the basics (What is a stator? How do these things generate thrust? etc.) This book was very dry, but to the point, which I appreciated.

Perhaps the most friendly book on the complex mechanics of the modern turbine engine. The author break down the stages of the working jet engine chapter by chapter begaining with intake follow by compressor, etc. A must reading for any commercial pilot upgrading to turbine engine, power plant mechanics trainees, or anyone who is interested in fundamental workings of a jet turbine engine.
