After 50 years and 5 editions, The Jet Engine book
has become a classic of its kind. We've kept its strengths
and brought it bang up to date in both style and content.
The book provides a complete, accessible description
of the working and underlying principles of the gas
turbine. Written by Rolls-Royce gas turbine engineers,
it contains a wealth of detail and high-quality illustrations.
The book is aimed at engineers and engineering students
- and, indeed, anyone interested in the detail of one
of the most complex machines of our time; it covers
everything from an introduction to the theory of jet
propulsion to in-depth component definitions, from basic
mechanics to maintenance and overhaul.
