Pasquale Sforza received his PhD from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn in 1965. He has taught courses related to commercial airplane design at the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn and the University of Florida. His research interests include propulsion, gas dynamics, and air and space vehicle design. Dr. Sforza has also acted as Co-Editor of the Journal of Directed Energy and Book Review Editor for the AIAA Journal. His previous books include Theory of Aerospace Propulsion (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2011) and Commercial Airplane Design Principles, (Butterworth-Heinemann, 2014)
"The authors of the book have managed to write book [sic] in a manner where students can learn all the concepts from basic to advance at one-stop location in form of this book. ...I strongly recommend this textbook for aeronautical or aerospace students at either undergraduate or postgraduate level. Aerospace researchers/engineers will also find it useful as a handbook on all basics." --The Aeronautical Journal "The authors of the book have managed to write book in a manner where students can learn all the concepts from basic to advance at one-stop location in form of this book.
