Hi, You may have a look at this page: http://lpre.de/resources/articles/textbooks.htm It contains some russian "classic" books on LPRE: Liquid propellant rocket engines by M. Dobrovolskiy: http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_Theory_4.djvu Theory and analysis of liquid propellant rocket engines by A. Vasiljev, V. Kudrjavcev, V. Kuznetcov: http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_Theory_1.djvu (vol.1) http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_Theory_2.djvu (vol. 2) Theory of rocket propulsion by Alemasov: http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_Theory_3.djvu Theory and analysis of turbopumps for LPRE by Ovsjannikov: http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_turbopumps.djvu Manufacturing of LPRE by Vorobej: http://lpre.de/resources/books/LPRE_Production.djvu Atlas of designs of LPREs by Gakhun: http://lpre.de/resources/books/atlas/LPRE_Atlas_vol2_drawings.djvu http://lpre.de/resources/books/atlas/LPRE_Atlas_vol2_descr.djvu http://lpre.de/resources/books/atlas/LPRE_Atlas_vol3_drawings.djvu http://lpre.de/resources/books/atlas/LPRE_Atlas_vol3_descr.djvu and some other. There is a bunch of other books on various aerospace-related topics, e.g.: - theory, analysis and design of solid propulsion, - modeling of different aspects of propulsion systems, - design of rockets, - trajectory design and analysis, - design of aircrafts and helicopters, etc. Most of them are available online.
