This book aims to develop systematic design methodologies to model-based nonlinear control of aeroengines, focusing on (1) modelling of aeroengine systems-both component-level and identification-based models will be extensively studied and compared; and (2) advanced nonlinear control designs-set-point control, transient control and limit-protection control approaches will all be investigated.

The Yearbook on Space Policy, edited by the European Space Policy Institute (ESPI), is the reference publication analysing space policy developments.

This book introduces a stability and control methodology named AeroMech, capable of sizing the primary control effectors of fixed wing subsonic to hypersonic designs of conventional and unconventional configuration layout.

This book focuses on using and implementing Circulation Control (CC) - an active flow control method used to produce increased lift over the traditionally used systems, like flaps, slats, etc.

This book focuses on the latest developments in detonation engines for aerospace propulsion, with a focus on the rotating detonation engine (RDE).

The story of European-Russian collaboration in space is little known and its importance all too often understated.

This textbook provides readers with a good working knowledge of adaptive control theory through applications.

This book is based on the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the Global Space Governance study commissioned by the 2014 Montreal Declaration that called upon civil society, academics, governments, the private sector, and other stakeholders to undertake an international interdisciplinary study.

This is the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Flow Induced Noise and Vibration (FLINOVIA), which was held in Penn State, USA, in April 2016.

This book explores creative solutions to the unique challenges inherent in crafting livable spaces in extra-terrestrial environments.

Explorer was the original American space program and Explorer 1 its first satellite, launched in 1958.

Space agencies are now realizing that much of what has previously been achieved using hugely complex and costly single platform projects-large unmanned and manned satellites (including the present International Space Station)-can be replaced by a number of smaller satellites networked together.

Progress in space safety lies in the acceptance of safety design and engineering as an integral part of the design and implementation process for new space systems.

A series of increasingly capable spacecraft were sent to explore the inner planets Venus and Mercury.

Unofficially they called themselves the TFNG, or the Thirty-Five New Guys.
