1949222731949. Rocket Propulsion Elements: An Introduction to the Engineering of Rockets by George P. Sutton published in 1949 presented one of the earliest comprehensive American engineering texts explaining the scientific principles governing rocket propulsion systems. Appearing in the years immediately following World War II the book addressed the rapid expansion of rocket and missile research in the United States as military planners and aerospace engineers sought to develop advanced propulsion technologies during the opening phase of the Cold War. Sutton an engineer associated with North American Aviation and an instructor in aerospace engineering courses wrote the work to introduce the mechanical and thermodynamic principles underlying rocket engines and to provide technical guidance for students and engineers entering the emerging field of rocket propulsion.<br /> <br /> Sutton George P. Rocket Propulsion Elements: An Introduction to the Engineering of Rockets. New York: John Wiley & Sons 1949. First edition. In the preface Sutton explains that "the object of this book is to present the basic elements and the technical problems of rocket propulsion and to describe the physical mechanisms and designs of rocket propulsion systems." Organized across ten chapters the volume explains propulsion theory through diagrams and technical illustrations depicting engine configurations and propulsion systems including figures labeled "Schematic diagram of ram jet" and "Turbojet engine employing a centrifugal air compressor." The text emphasizes the growing importance of liquid propellant systems stating that "more emphasis has been placed more on liquid propellant rocket units than on solid propellant units since their fields of application are of greater general interest." Sutton also notes that national security restrictions shaped the scope of the book writing that "this requirement limited in part the amount of experimental and calculated data. since a large part of the technical information. cannot be published for security reasons."<br /> <br /> Publication of Rocket Propulsion Elements coincided with the early institutional development of American missile research programs and university training in aerospace engineering. During the late 1940s and early 1950s the United States military and aviation industry expanded research into long range missiles high performance aircraft engines and experimental rocket propulsion systems making instructional texts such as Sutton's an important means of transmitting engineering knowledge. 294 pages illustrated with numerous technical diagrams throughout. Bound in original dark green cloth with red and gilt spine label. Name stamp of "Ray Nakabayashi" on upper right corner of the title page. Minor wear to board corners with light fading to spine lettering; interior pages clean with tight binding. Overall very good condition. The book remains an early and influential engineering text explaining the foundations of modern rocket propulsion technology. unknown
