The text presents a complete and realistic aircraft  engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new  aircraft to the final engine layout, the book provides the concepts  and procedures required for the entire process. It is a significantly  expanded and modernized version of the best-selling first edition that  emphasizes recent developments impacting engine design such as theta  break/throttle ratio, life management, controls, and stealth. The key  steps of the process are detailed in 10 chapters that encompass  aircraft constraint analysis, aircraft mission analysis, engine  parametric (design point) analysis, engine performance (off-design)  analysis, engine installation drag and sizing, and the design of  inlets, fans, compressors, main combustors, turbines, afterburners,  and exhaust nozzles.    The AEDsys software that accompanies the text provides comprehensive  computational support for every design step. The software has been  carefully integrated with the text to enhance both the learning  process and productivity, and allows effortless transfer between  British engineering and SI units. The AEDsys software is furnished on  CD-ROM and runs in the Windows operating system on PC-compatible  systems. A user?s manual is provided with the software, along with the  complete data files used for the Air-to-Air Fighter and Global Range  Airlifter design examples of the book.
