This module will introduce concepts of propulsion and to show how thrust and fuel consumption can be calculated for a variety of propulsion systems at design and off conditions. It will cover the operation of important components of propulsion systems (i.e. intakes, compressors, combustion chambers, turbines, and nozzles) and introduce the way in which materials constraints limit the performance, particularly of turbines and compressors.
