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).
Abstract: 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

TL;DR: A short review of the status of electric propulsion (EP) is presented to serve as an introduction to the more specialized technical papers also appearing in this Special Issue (Journal of Propulsion and Power, Vol. 14, No. 5, Sept. 1998) as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: A short review of the status of electric propulsion (EP) is presented to serve as an introduction to the more specialized technical papers also appearing in this Special Issue (Journal of Propulsion and Power, Vol. 14, No. 5, Sept. –Oct. 1998). The principles of operation and the several types of thrusters that are either operational or in advanced development are discussed rst, followed by some considerations on the necessary power sources. A few prototypical missions are then described to highlight the operational peculiarities of EP, including spacecraft interactions. We conclude with a historical summary of the accumulated ight experience using this technology.
