Synopsis

This text provides an introduction to gas turbine engines and jet propulsion for aerospace or mechanical engineers. The text is divided into four parts: introduction to aircraft propulsion; basic concepts and one-dimensional/gas dynamics; parametric (design point) and performance (off-design) analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of major gas turbine engine components (fans, compressors, turbines, inlets, nozzles, main burners, and afterburners). Design concepts are introduced early (aircraft performance in introductory chapter) and integrated throughout. Written with extensive student input on the design of the book, the book builds upon definitions and gradually develops the thermodynamics, gas dynamics, and gas turbine engine principles. The book contains over 100 worked examples and numerous homework problems so concepts are applied after they are introduced. Over 600 illustrations and pictures show basic concepts, trends, and design examples. Seven computer programs accompany the text, which allow for rapid calculation of trends, “what if” questions, conceptual design, homework problems, and homework verification. The software runs in the Windows operating system on PC-compatible systems.

About this title

About the Author

Jack D. Mattingly received his B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Notre Dame, and his Ph.D. in Aeronautics and Astronautics at the University of Washington. He retired in 2000 from Seattle University as Professor Emeritus in Mechanical Engineering to dedicate his efforts to writing new editions of his two textbooks “Aircraft Engine Design” and “Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion,” teaching short courses, and consulting. Dr. Mattingly was previously at the Aero Propulsion Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB where he directed exploratory and advanced development programs aimed at improving the performance, reliability, and durability of gas turbine engine components. Earlier, he was a senior member of the Department of Aeronautics at the Air Force Academy. In addition, he has taught and done research in propulsion and thermal energy systems at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT), the University of Washington, the University of Wisconsin, and IBM Corp. Having published more than 30 technical papers, articles, and textbooks in his field, Dr. Mattingly was co-author of “Aircraft Engine Design, Second Edition” in 2002 that won the 2005 AIAA Summerfield Book Award.
