The result builds on all the strengths that have made
The Jet Engine a classic of its kind. Remarkable drawings
illustrate the complexity of the jet engine in ways that
will still appeal to the lay reader. The explanations
of the underlying technology have meanwhile lost none
of the rigour to be expected from what has been a recommended
university text for a whole generation of engineering
students. For both audiences, this book remains an inspiring
introduction to a challenging subject.
It also takes account of critical trends in engine design
over recent years, none more important than those aimed
at reducing noise levels and carbon dioxide emissions.
Both issues pose problems that will go on demanding innovative
engineering solutions for the foreseeable future. this
new edition of The Jet Engine is a timely reminder of
the astonishing skill with which these and so many other
problems have already been addressed in the past.
