5.0 out of 5 stars
A "Must Have" in any Aerospace Professional's Library,
By A Customer
This review is from: Space Propulsion Analysis and Design (Paperback)
This book is THE definitive work on rocket and space propulsion. Unlike any other textbook on the subject, this text permits you to start with a blank sheet of paper and literally design a propulsion system from the ground up that meets user requirements. You can then assess the overall system performance. Highly recommended. If you are going to purchase any book on this topic - I recommend you start with this one!

Highly recommended!,
By Raven (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Space Propulsion Analysis and Design (Paperback)
I'm working in the Aerospace industry and for me there are only two books on the subject that I use for unclassified reference litterature - this book and "Rocket Propulsion Elements" by C. Sutton.
This book covers almost everything on the preliminary design level of a rocket propulsion system. Except for the typing errors this book is perfect. And I can surely recommend it for students as well as professionals.

Excellent Reference,

This book is excellent for Aerospace Engineering students and engineers alike. Contains plenty of graphs, tables, and "back-of-the-napkin" equations.
I wouldn't recommend this so much as a "learning the concepts" text book,as it doesnt always explain the data it is present very well. However for those already familiar with the topics covered it provides excellent reference.

"Un Buon punto di partenza",
By Luca Musolesi (Monteveglio, Bologna Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Space Propulsion Analysis and Design (Paperback)
Il testo analizza tutti i motori per la propulsione spaziale; a propellente liquido (bi e mono), solido, ibrido, a gas freddo, nucleare ed elettrico.Una parte è dedicata anche all'apetto della missione orbitale e per la specifica missione anche quale tipo di propulsiore impiegare. Per quando riguarda la tematica strettamente motoristica vengono presi in considerazione le problematiche di carattere progettuale senza però entrare nei particolare. Il libro si conferma così "un buon punto di partenza". Personalmente lo consiglio a tutti quelli che volessero "iniziare a saperne di più". La "matematica" dei calcoli NON è a livello "universitario", e la lettura è molto scorrevole. Un'attenzione particolare va rivolta alla bibliografia, dove vengono citati report tecnici della NASA reperibili anche in rete. |
