The definitive text on rocket propulsion—now revised to
reflect advancements in the field
For sixty years, Sutton''s Rocket Propulsion Elements has been
regarded as the single most authoritative sourcebook on rocket
propulsion technology. As with the previous edition, coauthored
with Oscar Biblarz, the Eighth Edition of Rocket Propulsion
Elements offers a thorough introduction to basic principles of
rocket propulsion for guided missiles, space flight, or satellite
flight. It describes the physical mechanisms and designs for
various types of rockets'' and provides an understanding of how
rocket propulsion is applied to flying vehicles.
Updated and strengthened throughout, the Eighth Edition
explores:
The fundamentals of rocket propulsion, its essential
technologies, and its key design rationale
The various types of rocket propulsion systems, physical
phenomena, and essential relationships
The latest advances in the field such as changes in materials,
systems design, propellants, applications, and manufacturing
technologies, with a separate new chapter devoted to
turbopumps
Liquid propellant rocket engines and solid propellant rocket
motors, the two most prevalent of the rocket propulsion systems,
with in-depth consideration of advances in hybrid rockets and
electrical space propulsion
Comprehensive and coherently organized, this seminal text guides
readers evenhandedly through the complex factors that shape rocket
propulsion, with both theory and practical design considerations.
Professional engineers in the aerospace and defense industries as
well as students in mechanical and aerospace engineering will find
this updated classic indispensable for its scope of coverage and
utility.
