By Bill Gunston

Expert aviation writer Bill Gunston explains clearly and accessibly the differences between gas-turbine, jet, rocket, ramjet and helicopter turboshaft aero engines, and traces their histories from the early days to the complex units used in today's airliners and military jets. New edition includes Boeing's 787 and Rolls-Royce's Trent 1000.
