Features: This book systematically and comprehensively introduces the working principles, basic structural components, operational characteristics, and performance parameters of various propulsion systems (engines) for aerospace vehicles. The book consists of seven chapters:
Chapter 1 introduces basic aerospace concepts, the development of aerospace technology, and the classification of aircraft propulsion systems;
Chapter 2 introduces the working principles, structural components, characteristics, and evolution of various aircraft engines;
Chapter 3 introduces the common fundamental theories, key relationships, and main performance parameters of rocket engines;
Chapter 4 introduces the working principles, basic components, and system composition of liquid rocket propulsion systems;
Chapter 5 introduces the working principles, basic components, propellant characteristics, and typical charge features of solid rocket propulsion systems;
Chapter 6 introduces combined engines and hybrid engines;
Chapter 7 introduces an overview and development of special rocket engines, the working principles, basic components, and characteristics of various special engines, as well as their applications.
The book is rich in content, detailed, and features novel themes with illustrations, reflecting the latest advancements and achievements in aerospace propulsion technology today. It serves as a textbook for undergraduate aerospace engineering programs and graduate programs in "Aerospace Propulsion Theory and Engineering" in universities, as well as a reference for educators and researchers in the field of aerospace science.
