Offers a systematic approach to flight vehicle system identification and covers exhaustively the time-domain methodology. Beginners, as well as practicing engineers, researchers, and working professionals who wish to refresh or broaden their knowledge of flight vehicle system identification, will find this book highly beneficial.

Documents recent, unprecedented scientific advances in the field of nonequilibrium processes for aerospace applications. These advances have been driven primarily by interest in space access and exploration, or in developing military technologies involving hypersonic flight regimes.

Provides an introduction to turbines in the context of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, materials, and mechanics. The book addresses major considerations in the design of turbines; details of turbine cooling; and super alloys, thermal barrier coatings, and mechanisms by which materials can fail due to thermal and mechanical loads.

Provides an engineering history of the human powered helicopter creatively designed, skilfully built, and courageously flown by students of the University of Maryland. This technical history explains the concepts of helicopter aerodynamics, aeromechanics, and composite structures using a minimum of jargon, without oversimplifying the explanations.

Beginning with the basic principles and concepts of aeropropulsion combustion, this text goes on to explore specific processes, limitations and analytical methods as they bear on component design. The text features invited work of prominent specialists in aircraft gas turbine engines.

Experience has shown warfighters desire to understand more than just the 'buttonology' of using weaponeering tools. This book uses much of the knowledge and material utilized in the author's previous texts, but with an emphasis on breadth and real-world topics and examples to put the underlying methods in the context of how they are applied.

From the revolutionary Wasp air-cooled radial engine in 1925 to the industry-changing technology of today's PurePower "Geared Turbofan", Powering the Eagle...90 Years and Counting chronicles the contributions of Pratt & Whitney's women professionals and their inspirational workplace journey as aviation pioneers, innovators, and role models.

Provides various methods and advanced experimental techniques for the design, analysis, and testing of highly flexible deployable/inflatable structures (HFSs), including systematic nonlinear modeling approaches, newly developed geometrically exact structural theories, numerically exact solution methods, and others.

Uses the personal experiences of over two dozen beginning engineers to illustrate the different paths for developing engineering experience as an undergrad, landing the job you want, and starting off right as an engineer. This book gives tips on resume writing and interviewing skills, getting through the first confusing days on the job, and more.

A chronicle of the life and work of Dr Hans von Ohain, a brilliant physicist who assisted with the invention of the turbojet engine. The volume follows him from childhood through his education, the first turbojet development, his work at the Heinkel Company, and his immigration to the USA.

The growth of the commercial market for electronic parts as well as a decrease in aerospace and defence has caused this recommended practice for mitigating problems/risks. The basic strategy employed by this document is to understand and manage risk as early as possible in the programme life cycle.

This guide suggests methods for measuring human performance for the purpose of scientific research and system test and evaluation. The objective of this guide is to foster human performance measurement (HPM) techniques that have proved to be effective.

Chronicles the evolution of the small gas turbine engine via a comprehensive study of a major aerospace industry. In nontechnical language, the book illustrates the broad-ranging influence of small turbines - from commercial and executive aircraft to helicopters and missiles.

Replacing Mil-Std 1522A, this standard provides requirements for the analysis, design, manufacture, qualification and acceptance for flight of metallic pressure components for use in space systems. The document includes specific requirements addressing pressure vessels.

Hankey addresses the kinetic theory of gases and the prediction of vehicle trajectories during re-entry, including a description of the Earth's atmosphere. He discusses the fundamentals of hypersonic aerodynamics as they are used in estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of re-entry configurations, re-entry heat transfer for both lifting (space shuttle) and ballistic ("Apollo") configurations, thermal protection systems, and the application of high-temperature materials in design.

Organised by themes and complemented by brief commentaries introducing underlying business concepts or additional information, these reader-friendly columns cover a broad enough range of issues to provide a comprehensive, 360-degree view of the key themes relevant to the business of aerospace today.

Prediction, reduction, and measurement of electromagnetic scattering from complex three-dimensional targets is the primary emphasis of this text, developed by the author from courses taught at the Naval Postgraduate School.

Helps students and professionals understand the space environment and its impacts on spacecraft design, engineering, and performance. Focussing on the Earth's environment and its effects on spacecraft, this book also addresses the extraterrestrial environment and the effects of radiation on humans in space.

Presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final engine layout, this book outlines the concepts and procedures required for the entire process.

Written by an author with over 20 years experience as a risk management consultant, including work for the US Air Force and NASA, this book defines the key to effective risk management, with the aim of helping the reader to create and implement a viable risk management process.

Offers a comprehensive treatment of dynamics of space systems, starting with the fundamentals and covering topics from basic kinematics and dynamics to advanced celestial mechanics. This book focuses on the use of rotating reference frames that often occur in aerospace systems.

Provides an introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. This text is divided into four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket propulsion systems; parametric and performance analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of major gas turbine engine components.
