Cumpsty Nicholas. Jet Propulsion: A Simple Guide to the Aerodynamic and Thermodynamic Design and Performance of Jet Engines

2nd ed. — Cambridge University Press, 2003. Seventh printing, 2009. — 321 p. — ISBN: 978-0-521-54144-2.This second edition of Cumpsty's self-contained introduction to the aerodynamic and thermodynamic design of modern civil and military jet engines features two engine design projects. The first is for a new large passenger aircraft, and the second for a new fighter aircraft. The text introduces, illustrates and explains the important facets of modern engine design. Thoroughly updated and revised, this edition includes a new appendix on noise control and expanded treatment of combustion emissions.Nomenclature
