16.50 Introduction to Propulsion Systems | Aeronautics and Astronautics

This course presents aerospace propulsive devices as systems, with functional requirements and engineering and environmental limitations along with requirements and limitations that constrain design choices. Both air-breathing and rocket engines are covered, at a level which enables rational integration of the propulsive system into an overall vehicle design. Mission analysis, fundamental performance relations, and exemplary design solutions are presented.

Keywords:: electrical propulsion, rocket engines, chemical propulsion, turbines, air-breathing engines, turbofans, combustion turbine, gas turbines, propulsion, rocket nozzles, rockets, aeroengines, turbojets, turbomachines, aircraft engines, turboprops, Propulsion Systems, thrusters
