    • This book has an awesome collection of information
This book has an awesome collection of information, spans the breadth of jet engine technology and has a fantastic collection of pictures. I like the strategy of starting off with some history and discussing the main aspects of design and finally covering each jet engine component in more detail. Over all, this book does an excellent job of covering the necessary details without becoming too textbookish. What really makes it hard to read is the poor editing, repeated redundant information and unnecessary pictures that do not add value. To give an example of a random picture to fill out space, take for example the chapter on performance, Pg 78, there is a useless picture of 5 identical planes flying in formation. Every other picture (not referenced which is very irksome) is a performance map. Most figures are not numbered or referenced, so if you were reading your first jet engine book, you would be frustrated because you would find it difficult to easily grasp things.If you find CFD images or contour plots, they do not mention what is being plotted, for example in page 172, the picture is titled 'flow field analysis of a cavity in an internal system", there is no indication of what physical quantity is being displayed, how the colors map to magnitudes, making this picture meaningless! An example of a conceptual mistake (IMO) is on page 14, the author says " When the nozzle is choked Vjet is fixed at Mach 1" where Vjet is the exit gas flow speed in the equation (F = W(Vjet - Vflight) + A(rho_exit - rho_inlet) . There two things wrong here: - Vjet is velocity and not the dimensionless Mach number - When a jet engine nozzle gets choked, it is the the Mach number at the throat that is Mach 1 and in usual operating conditions, the nozzle exit Mach number is supersonic (about 2) This blunder early on and several others makes it really difficult to trust what the author has to say later. My advice to the publishers and editors:Most people who will buy this book and pay $70 for it will mostly be aviation enthusiasts or Aerospace engineers (like myself) that hope to add an excellent book to their collection. We already know a good portion of the information and it is difficultl to get through the book in its present form. Therefore, in future revisions, please do the following: - Revisit the information to make sure you have all the facts right, especially concepts - Remove unnecessary pictures, instead elaborate on the existing information, make it more readable and add references to pictures. ... show more

    • Beautiful illustrations and charts
This book was made by the manufacturer of jet engine. So, not so much theoretical, but with more facts and vivid images.

    • Good intro and very nice illustrations
I like this book. Good introduction and great pictures. Not as technical as Gunston, but the Gunston book doesn’t have the pictures and colors this one does. On the other hand the Gunston book has a nice history section at the back.

    • Beautiful Book.
This is a beautiful book. Fantastic cutaways. I wish it were updated to 2020 with new developments (geared fan jets; electric drives). But great as is, with excellent text explanations of jet functioning and all engine components.

    • Highly recommend - penultimate book on the subject.
Love this book - last copy I had was stolen (!) - I guess that was a compliment ... highly recommend.

I like the content as expected. No complicated mathematics are involved. Plenty of nice photos are showed professionally.
