Prof. Ahmed F. El-Sayed was a Senior Engineer for the Egyptian
Airline EGYPTAIR for 10 years, working in maintenance, technical
inspection, and R&D departments as well as the engine overhaul
shop. He has worked as a researcher in corporate projects with
Westinghouse (USA) and Rolls Royce (UK), and taught propulsion and
turbomachinery courses in several universities in Egypt, the USA,
and Libya.
Prof. El-Sayed has lectured in the field of design and performance
of aircraft engines in several universities in the USA, Russia,
Belgium, UK, Austria, China, Syria, and Japan, including NASA
Glenn, MIT, the US Air Force Academy and von Karman Institute. He
is the author of eight books, and more than eighty technical papers
handling aircraft propulsion, performance, design aspects and FOD
of intakes, fans and compressors, cooling of axial turbines of
aircraft engines.
"This book is one of the best on the market covering the topic of
aircraft propulsion. There is no question that Aircraft Propulsion
and Gas Turbines, 2nd Edition deserves your attention should you
consider employment in gas turbines industry or are developing an
academic course for your university. It is a resource that should
be on everyone’s shelf."
— Kenneth W. Van Treuren, Baylor University, Texas, USA"This book
is truly a broad scope text on aerospace propulsion covering the
whole spectrum of technologies from gas turbine engines, to
propellers and space propulsion technologies. The book at its heart
is a comprehensive text on aircraft gas turbine engines, hence the
title. However, the author has updated the first edition of this
text to include more contemporary topics such as a discussion on
biofuel economic viability and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)
propulsion technologies as well as extending the scope to cover
rocket and space propulsion technologies.
Overall this is a good comprehensive textbook for Aerospace
Propulsion and for instructors looking for a catch all text this is
certainly an excellent option and it would serve well on any
undergraduate aerospace engineering course as a good introduction
to most aerospace propulsion technologies. The more comprehensive
gas turbine sections would cover more senior undergraduate and
taught postgraduate courses."
