Aircraft Engine Design (AIAA Education Series)

Aircraft Engine Design, Third Edition presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine preliminary design experience. Starting with the requirements definition (request for proposal) driving the aircraft/engine system analyses to the final engine and component designs and layout, it focuses on the foundational concepts and procedures required for the entire process. Thoroughly updated to include many new insightful descriptions and discussions, it features 15 years of evolutionary changes that have occurred since publication of the previous edition. Consequently, both the text and accompanying software, AEDsys, of this third edition present an improved, new work. The special contributions of uniquely qualified experts continue to provide valuable material to this new edition.

The key steps of the design process are outlined in 10 chapters that encompass:

The Design Process
Aircraft/Engine System Constraint Analysis
Aircraft/Engine System Mission Analysis
Engine Selection: Parametric Cycle Analysis
Engine Selection: Engine Performance Analysis
Sizing the Engine: Installed Performance
Engine Component Design: Global and Interface Quantities
Engine Component Design: Turbomachinery
Engine Component Design: Combustion Systems
Engine Component Design: Inlets and Exhaust Nozzles
