Description - Optimizing the Super–turbocharged Aeroengine by Julian R. Panting

Turbprop or turbojet engines are the main means of providing motive
power for flight. Any improvements which can be made to these
technologies in terms of power or fuel efficiency are significant
and important developments.
After first setting the scene with a short account of aeroengine
development, the book goes on to show how a super-turbocharged
aeroengine can be significantly more efficient. A detailed account
of the studies into the new design philosophy is given and the
numerical results of the computational model of this engine design
model are analysed. The unusual design of these piston engine units
is theoretically modelled and their mechanical design is discussed
in some detail.
