Aircraft propulsion - Open Access .click

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, 1947
Mechanical flight began just over 40 years ago, and the only system of propulsion in use until five years ago was the internal combustion piston engine driving a propeller. Quite suddenly, the internal combustion turbine has come very much to the fore, both with and without a propeller, giving an increase in speed from under 500 to over 600 m.p.h.—a ...

Economic Aspects of Aircraft Propulsion Electrification

Journal of Aircraft, 2021
Aircraft propulsion electrification is currently being considered by industry and academia as one of the most promising strategies to reduce air transport emissions and increase overall efficiency levels. In the past decade, several papers were published on this subject, with the majority indicating encouraging fuel burn benefits versus conventional ...

Trends in Aircraft Propulsion

Journal of Aircraft, 1972
Propulsion requirements for the next generation of civil aircraft are examined and some new and quite demanding needs are defined—larger engine sizes, higher takeoff thrusts, and much lower noise levels. The remarkable propulsion advances over the past two decades are charted and, from these, projections are made for the next round of improvements. All
