 | Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Propulsion (2nd Edition) by Philip Hill
Buy new: $117.57 / Used from: $84.99 The very best overall book on propulsion that I have found. Referred to by nearly everyone in industry.
|
 | Foundations of Aerodynamics: Bases of Aerodynamic Design by Arnold M. Kuethe
Buy new: $148.35 / Used from: $83.85 I actually broke the binding on this book because I used it so much. I like it better than Anderson's more popular aerodynamics book. Chapter 9 on 1D flow applications is great.

 | A Brief Introduction to Fluid Mechanics by Donald F. Young
Buy new: $135.27 / Used from: $4.80 Very good into to fluid mechanics. The examples are extremely clear. The accompanying CD has some excellent video clips explaining phenomenon in fluid dynamics.
|
 | Introduction to Space Flight by Francis J. Hale
Buy new: $114.04 / Used from: $69.98 Great book on astrodynamics. Chapter 2 has a great summary page with all the essential equations that was well worn from all my referencing.
|
 | Rocket Propulsion Elements, 7th Edition by George P. Sutton
Buy new: $77.58 / Used from: $69.99 Currently, the best book on rocket propulsion.
|
 | Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective by John Anderson
Buy new: $158.48 / Used from: $119.72 Extremely good explanation, which is usually lacking in technical books. You could actually teach yourself much of the material by reading this book.
|
 | Physics for Scientists and Engineers: Extended Version by Paul A. Tipler
Buy used from: $19.99 This book is pretty heavy to lug around campus, but it is indispensible in learning all the fundamental physics required for aerospace engineering.
