Books, Manuscripts
The conception of the Pegasus engine in 1957 upset all the conventions of aircraft design. It was previously usual for aircraft designers to seek a suitable engine, but this was an engine that sought an aircraft. This book takes an in-depth look at the engine's original design concept, initial production and flight testing.
