1954年，中國為發展噴射戰鬥機所需之發動機，在瀋陽成立中國第一個航空發動機研究所與製造廠。1956年，瀋陽航空發動機廠仿製前蘇聯VK-IF發動機之渦噴-5發動機進入量產階段。該款發動機的問世，使中國成為世界第七個擁有製造噴射發動機的國家。儘管如此，在1960年中蘇關係交惡之後，中國航空發動機就陷入發展緩慢與困頓的狀態，直到進入二十一世紀之後，才取得重大突破，而擁有如今驚人與傲世之成就。航空發動機是精密與尖端科技之結晶，全球能夠擁有自行研製先進航空發動機的國家相當少，因此，航空發動機遂有「工業界皇冠」之稱譽。然中國自1950年代開始發展航空發動機至今，已有超過一甲子以上之時日，當前，中國在渦輪噴射發動機 (turbojet engine)、渦輪風扇噴射發動機(turbofan jet engine)、 渦輪螺旋槳發動機(turboprop engine)與渦輪軸發動機(turboshaft engine)等重要航空發動機之發展，均有相當可觀與豐碩之成果。為能深入研究與探討中國航空發動機之發展，本書除了在〈第一章緒論〉概略簡介世界航空發動機的發展，以及中國航空發動機發展的演進之外，並以〈第二章 渦輪噴射發動機〉、〈第三章 軍用渦輪風扇噴射發動機〉、〈第四章 民用渦輪風扇噴射發動機〉、〈第五章 渦輪螺旋槳發動機〉與〈第六章 渦輪軸發動機〉等五大章結之內容，詳細探究與論述中 國航空發動機的發展。藉此，用以深入探究、分析與評論中國 在渦輪噴射(turbo jet)、渦輪風扇噴射(turbofan jet)、渦輪螺旋槳(turboprop)與渦輪軸(turboshaft)等四大航空發動機之發展。另外，為加深讀者對書中所述內容之理解，本社特地運用美編軟體，將近四百張與中國航空發動機發展相關之彩色轉換成黑白照片，而後適當地編輯於各章撰述內容之中，以求圖文並茂，賞心悅目，藉以加深認知印象。最後，經由對中國自1950年代中期至今之航空發動機的發展，進而在〈第七章結論〉中，提出「起於仿改」、「逐步精進」、「趕超強權」與「力求自主」等四點，以為本書之總結。
