AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast | ISBN 1563477793 | 2006 | PDF | 10 Mb | 867 pages

This text provides a complete introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. Building on the very successful Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion, textbook coverage has been expanded to include rocket propulsion and the material on gas dynamics has been dramatically improved. The text is divided into four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket propulsion systems; 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).

The wave theory foundations of today's radio occultation techniquesForty years ago, the premier radio occultation problem was how to profile the atmosphere and radius of Mars using signals sent by the Mariner 4 spacecraft. Researchers then could rely on ray theory-based techniques for accurate analysis of the thin, uniform Martian atmosphere. Today's radio occultation challenges mostly involve communications platforms-and related data, instrument systems, and applications-in the Earth's own atmosphere.

"Gust Loads on Aircraft: Concepts and Applications" by Frederic M. Hoblit

"Gust Loads on Aircraft: Concepts and Applications" by Frederic M. Hoblit, consultant
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. AIAA EDducation Series, Volume 3797
AIAA | 1988/2001 | ISBN: 0930403452 9780930403454 | 320 pages | PDF | 17 MB

This book provides an authoritative and practical presentation of the determination of gust loads on airplanes, especially continuous turbulence gust loads. The text emphasizes the basic concepts involved in gust load determination and enriches the material with discussion of important relationships, definitions of terminology and nomenclature, historical perspective, and explanations of relevant calculations. Coverage begins with discrete-gust idealization of the gust structure and moves to continuous-turbulence gust loads.
