Course Description
Prerequisite: ME 3220 and ME 3720. Co-requisites: NA. 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 airbreathing 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. Additional assignment is required for graduate students.
