Summary
Propulsion Engineering — the design, modeling, analysis, test, and certification of propulsion systems (rocket engines, jet/gas-turbine engines, electric propulsion, and turbomachinery) and their integration into vehicle and fuel systems. Distinct from sibling focuses such as structures, avionics, or aerodynamics in its emphasis on thermodynamic cycles, combustion kinetics, compressible/high-temperature gas dynamics, rotating-machinery design, material qualification under extreme conditions, and engine performance through ground test and flight demonstration.
