Fantastic book

I prefer this book to Sutton for bacis understanding of the compressible flow as it relates to rocketry. Also, the explanation of the rocket equation is far simpler in this text than any other.
Best Book For Propulsion. Period.

This is just the best book for propulsion. But maybe not for beginners. And may be not for those who just want to score marks in exams by practicing large no. of problems but not caring for real & physical understanding of jet engines.
The best overall book on propulsion in existence
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Yeah, that's a big statement, but considering the fact that I own 7 other major propulsion books and refer to this one 10 times more than any of the others, I think it's definitely true. All of the top Aerospace Engineering schools use it, and for good reason. It is NOT a teach-yourself book. If that is what you are into, then go buy something with more pretty pictures, because some sections take some work to dig into. But if you are Senior level or grad student, then the book will be very good for you. The content in the book is very insightful, and if you go through the book concurrently with a course it is a great help.
