This book offers gas turbine users and manufacturers a resource to help them sort through issues associated with combustion instabilities.

Introduces readers to the uses of civil and commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), sometimes called 'domestic drones'.

Tells the behind-the-scenes story of the designers and engineers who conceived and built Grumman aircraft from the founding of the company in 1929 until 1994. The book focuses on the people, disciplines, processes, and anecdotes behind the creation of such icons as the F6F Wildcat and the F-14 Tomcat.

With contributions from the leading researchers and scientists in the field, this volume is a compendium of the latest advances in tactical missile propulsion. The objectives of the book are to provide todays designer with a summary of the advances in potential propulsion systems as well as provide a discussion of major design and selection considerations. Authors were chosen for their demonstrated knowledge of and excellence in their respective fields to ensure a complete and up-to-date summary of the latest research and developments.

This title discusses direct hit technology in conjunction with a class of warheads coined "near miss or direct hit warhead technology". These warheads utilize most of their entire volume and mass as damage mechanisms generating more mass deployed in the target's direction.

Unifies various aspects of flight dynamics for the efficient development of aerospace vehicle simulations. This work provides the reader with a set of tools to build, program, and execute simulations. It uses tensors for modeling flight dynamics in a form invariant under coordinate transformations.

Offers an overview of various functional areas that support defense acquisition projects as well as their application to those projects. This book also highlights significant issues such as organizational considerations, the defense industrial base, and acquisition workforce issues.

Traces the transformation of the commercial aircraft business from 1990 to the present. This $300bn industry is not only the pinnacle of high technology and advanced manufacturing; it is also amongst the largest export industries for many advanced economies and a key enabler of military aerospace and national defense.

A book for those who want to calculate compressible and viscous flow past aerodynamic bodies. As taught by Robert MacCormack at Stanford University, it allows readers to get started in programming for solving initial value problems.

Provides an overview of the recent developments in precision aerial cargo delivery from the standpoint of developing guidance, navigation and control algorithms for the self-guided parafoil, and parachute-based aerial delivery systems.

Provides a foundation in mathematics modelling, analysis and control of space vehicles. The text highlights a range of orbital manoeuvring issues and figures, photographs and tables are featured in detailed sections covering the fundamentals of orbital, attitude and structural motions.

The primary objective of Weaponeering is to assist those engaged in assessing the effects of conventional weapons to understand the components, limitations and techniques needed to perform that assessment. The intent is to explain the underlying methodologies behind various weaponeering tools rather than how to use the tools themselves.
