Note publique d'information : La 4ème de couverture indique : "Future Propulsion Systems and Energy Sources in Sustainable
Aviation is a comprehensive reference that offers a review of the science and engineering
principles that underpin the concepts of propulsion systems and energy sources in
sustainable air transportation. The author a noted expert in the field examines
the impact of air transportation on the environment and reviews alternative jet fuels,
hybrid-electric and nuclear propulsion and power. He also explores modern propulsion
for transonic and supersonic-hypersonic aircraft and the impact of propulsion on aircraft
design. Climate change is the main driver for the new technology development in sustainable
air transportation. The book contains critical review of gas turbine propulsion and
aircraft aerodynamics; followed by an insightful presentation of the aviation impact
on environment. Future fuels and energy sources are introduced in a separate chapter.
Promising technologies in propulsion and energy sources are identified leading to
pathways to sustainable aviation. To facilitate the utility of the subject, the book
is accompanied by a website that contains illustrations, and equation files"
