After completing B.E. or B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering or Aeronautical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering you can sit for GATE examamination (Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering) to take admission to any IITs (Indian Institutes of Technology), or any other institutes where M.Tech in Aerospace engineering is available to pursue master's degree in Aerospace. To take proper preparation for GATE exam, admission or entrance exams, here is a list of best books for Aerospace Engineering.
Aerodynamics:
Flight Mechanics:
Space Mechanics:
Structures:
Propulsion:
Mechanics and Thermodynamics of Propulsion by Philip Hill and Carl Peterson in Aerospace Propulsion Technology has 760 pages. Publisher: Prentice Hall. All of the top Aerospace Engineering schools around the world use this book because it is an excellent source of information for jet and rocket propulsion systems, thermodynamics and aerodynamics. The 'Gas Turbine Theory' is also an excellent book for both Aerospace and gas turbine engineering and suitable for students of mechanical and aeronautical engineering. It is a great way to understand thermodynamic and aerodynamic better.
Maths:
Most engineering students purchase Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Erwin Kreyszig because, this is a required textbook. And, the newer edition of Advanced Engineering Mathematics by Loyola Marymount University Dennis G Zill, Loyola Marymount University Warren S Wright is already an Amazon.com Best Seller. For basic fundamentals you can buy "Flight without Formulae" and "Mechanics of Flight", both by A.C. Kermode.
