The next great leap for jet propulsion will be to power-sustained, efficient flight through the atmosphere. "Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion presents the first comprehensive, unified introduction to all elements of the scramjet engine that will make this feat possible. The text emphasizes fundamental principles, guiding concepts, analytical derivations, and numerical examples having clear, useful, insightful results.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but needs some changes,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion (AIAA Education) (Hardcover)
This is a good book: easy to understand and apply. However, some changes are in order. In the Special Topics sectionl, a table presents the thermal stresses and thermal durability of several materials--without specifying the temperature and pressure for the materials. As material properties change drastically at high temperatures, such tables are incomplete without the above information. I hesitated in using the information in my design report, and asked my materials and manufacturing professor about it as well. He agreed that this information must be provided for the table to be of any use. It would also help if you specify the units after presenting an equation. Yes, we can figure it out, but try sitting on your behind for hours on end and having to stop every so often in your design to figure out the units for an equation! Colorful language flows like anything!

Review of Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion (AIAA Education) (Hardcover)
First, I would like to compliment the shipper who sold me the book, which was in very good unused condition. The book is rated as one of the best if not the best fundamental book on hypersonic propulsion. It flows well by giving a basic understanding of high speed flight and then slowly works into a more detailed description. The book does a great job outlining assumptions to hypersonic flight and reviews physics behind high speed flight and even briefly outlines some fundamental concepts as they apply to kinetic theory.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent overview of scramjet engines,
This review is from: Hypersonic Airbreathing Propulsion (AIAA Education) (Hardcover)
An extremely well-written, clear overview of scramjet engines. The authors do a remarkable job presenting the information in an understandable manner. The book performs a one-dimensional analysis aimed at giving the reader an "engineering intuition" of the topic, without introducing the complexities that arise in a three-dimensional analysis. While the book is self-contained, an undergraduate-level understanding of thermodynamics and supersonic flow makes the read easier.
