Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this monogaph the author summarizes the most important points ha has learned during a career devoted to advanced fan and compressor research and development. Although all of this work was originally aimed at military aircraft engine applications, much of it is relevant to commercial aircraft engines and also to industrial and consumer-oriented turbomachinery. Guidance is given to the aerodynamic designer in ost aspects of the detail design of axial compressors, backed up with references which the reader can persue for a more comprehensive treatment of individual points. Practical and convenient design approaches are commanded wherever possible. The author believes that the simpliest approach which can be logically defended is usually the best one, unless a designer has a very good reason for escalating the level of complexity in any area.
