Design Optimization of Space Launch Vehicles Using a Genetic Algorithm
TL;DR: In this paper, a genetic algorithm was employed to optimize the design of the space launch vehicle with the goal of minimizing the overall vehicle cost. But, the ability to obtain a truly minimized cost was elusive, due to the proprietary nature of cost figures and due to dependence of many existing systems on surplus hardware.

Elements of Gas Turbine Propulsion
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors provide an introduction to gas turbine engines and jet propulsion for aerospace or mechanical engineers, which 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).
