Overview

During the last decade, rapid growth of knowledge in the field of jet, rocket, nuclear, ion and electric propulsion has resulted in many advances useful to the student, engineer and scientist. The purpose for offering this course is to make available to them these recent advances in theory and design. Accordingly, this course is organized into seven parts: Part 1 Introduction; Part 2 Jet Propulsion; Part 3 Rocket Propulsion; Part 4 Nuclear Propulsion; Part 5 Electric and Ion Propulsion; Part 6 Theory on Combustion, Detonation and Fluid Injection; Part 7 Advanced Concepts and Mission Applications. It is written in such a way that it may easily be adopted by other universities as a textbook for a one semester senior or graduate course on the subject. In addition to the undersigned who served as the course instructor and wrote Chapter I, 2 and 3, guest lecturers included: DR. G. L. DUGGER who wrote Chapter 4 ""Ram-jets and Air-Aug­ mented Rockets,"" DR. GEORGE P. SUTTON who wrote Chapter 5 ""Rockets and Cooling Methods,"" DR . . MARTIN SUMMERFIELD who wrote Chapter 6 ""Solid Propellant Rockets,"" DR. HOWARD S. SEIFERT who wrote Chapter 7 ""Hybrid Rockets,"" DR. CHANDLER C. Ross who wrote Chapter 8 ""Advanced Nuclear Rocket Design,"" MR. GEORGE H. McLAFFERTY who wrote Chapter 9 ""Gaseous Nuclear Rockets,"" DR. S. G. FORBES who wrote Chapter 10 ""Electric and Ion Propul­ sion,"" DR. R. H. BODEN who wrote Chapter 11 ""Ion Propulsion,"" DR.
