Resources
This page gathers all documentation available on the numerous subjects linked to rocket science (and turbofans).
Web pages
- XCOR cryogenic piston pumps (for LOX) on XR-4K5, a 1,800 lbf LOX/kerosene Engine.
- History of the R7 (soyuz rocket) and rocket engines issues prior to it.
Books (online links)
Multi-domain
- Aerothermodynamics of gas turbine and rocket propulsion by Gordon C. Oates. 1997.
Rocket engines
- How to design, build and test small liquid-fuel rocket engines by Rocketlab / China lake, Calif. 1967. Local copy of the full book. Backup is here.
- Rocket propulsion elements by George Paul Sutton and Oscar Biblarz. 7th edition, 2001. Very complete.
- Modern engineering for design of liquid-propellant rocket engines by Dieter K. Huzel, David H. Huang and Harry Arbit. 1992.
Specific parts:
- Cryogenic engineering by Thomas M. Flynn. 2005.
- Liquid rocket engine combustion instability by Vigor Yang and William E. Anderson. 1995.
- Liquid rocket thrust chambers: aspects of modeling, analysis, and design by Vigor Yang. 2004.
Turbines and turbofans
- The history of North American small gas turbine aircraft engines by Richard A. Leyes and William A. Fleming. 1999.
- Turbofan by Frederic P Miller, Agnes F Vandome and John McBrewster. 2009.
- Jet propulsion: a simple guide to the aerodynamics and thermodynamic design and performance of jet engines, by N. A. Cumpsty. 2003.
- Gas turbine theory by H. I. H. Saravanamuttoo, Gordon Frederick Crichton Rogers and Henry Cohen. 2001.
- Gas turbine engineering handbook by Meherwan P. Boyce. 2002.
Videos (youtube links)
- SSTO presentation at SpaceUp conference.
- How are made turbine blades from Discovey channel "How it's made" show.
- Using propellers to get into space by John Powell in SpaceVidCast.
- Video documentaries on turbine engines, from a turbine renovator in Canada, probably the best resource on the Web for seing what's inside real engines.
