Missiles and Anti-Missiles: A Complete Guide to How They Fly, Think, and Shape Our World From the first terror of the V-2 rocket to today's hypersonic weapons, guided missiles have reshaped warfare and geopolitics.
"e;Landing Gear Systems: Types, Maintenance, and Tire Management"e; is a comprehensive technical guide covering every aspect of aircraft landing gear from the simple fixed gear on training aircraft to the complex multi-bogey assemblies beneath wide-body jets.
Every time a fighter pilot pulls hard into a turn, blood drains from their brain, vision narrows to a grey tunnel, and consciousness retreats toward a threshold that once crossed leaves a fully functioning aircraft with nobody flying it.
This book does something no single aviation text has done before, treating engine maintenance and bird strike prevention not as separate subjects but as two sides of the same professional responsibility.
This book comprises the proceedings of the 2023 International Symposium on Aircraft Technology, MRO, and Operations (ISATECH 2023), a multi-disciplinary symposium presenting research on current aerospace issues.

Significant advances in the scientific use of space based data were achieved in three joint interdisciplinary projects based on data of the satellite missions CHAMP, GRACE and GOCE within the R&D program GEOTECHNOLOGIEN.
A team of launched and coordinated Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), requires advanced technologies in sensing, communication, computing, and control to improve their intelligence and robustness towards autonomous operations.
The book provides personal memories along with description of scientific works written by ex-graduate students and research associates of the late Professor Glass.
Fundamentals of Inertial Navigation, Satellite-based Positioning and their Integration is an introduction to the field of Integrated Navigation Systems.
This prizewinning PhD thesis presents a general discussion of the orbital motion close to solar system small bodies (SSSBs), which induce non-central asymmetric gravitational fields in their neighborhoods.
This contributed monograph is the first work to present the latest results and findings on the new topic and hot field of planetary exploration and sciences, e.
Theoretical Modelling of Aeroheating on Sharpened Noses under Rarefied Gas Effects and Nonequilibrium Real Gas Effects employs a theoretical modeling method to study hypersonic flows and aeroheating on sharpened noses under rarefied gas effects and nonequilibrium real gas effects that are beyond the scope of traditional fluid mechanics.
"e;Strength of Fibrous Composites"e; addresses evaluation of the strength of a fibrous composite by using its constituent material properties and its fiber architecture parameters.
This book summarizes the main achievements of the EC funded 6th Framework Program project COFCLUO - Clearance of Flight Control Laws Using Optimization.
For decades experiments conducted on space stations like MIR and the ISS have been gathering data in many fields of research in the natural sciences, medicine and engineering.
Against the variegated background of bewilderment and cautious optimism that space transportation offers, this book begins with an expose on international politics, the principles of which, bear upon space transportation, as well as the closeness of air space and outer space, and activities that straddle both frontiers at the same time.
The purpose of this reference and handbook is to describe and to derive the analytic solutionsoftheequationsofsatellitemotionperturbedbyextraterrestrialandgeo- tential disturbances of the second order.
"e;Systems of Commercial Turbofan Engines"e; gives the reader information about the operation of the engine systems, its components and the terminology used throughout the industry.
This book addresses the task of computation from the standpoint of asymptotic analysis and multiple scales that may be inherent in the system dynamics being studied.
The updated and expanded third edition of this book focuses on the multi-disciplinary coupling between flight-vehicle hardware alternatives and enabling propulsion systems.

The book describes current mission analysis and design techniques that may be applied to a very wide range of interplanetary missions from those targeting the inner planets to those destined for the outer planets and Solar System escape trajectories.
Engineers need to acquire "e;Back-of-the-Envelope"e; survival skills to obtain rough quantitative answers to real-world problems, particularly when working on projects with enormous complexity and very limited resources.
In Future Spacecraft Propulsion Systems the authors demonstrate the need to break free from the old established concepts of expendable rockets, using chemical propulsion, and to develop new breeds of launch vehicle capable of both launching payloads into orbit at dramatically reduced cost, and for sustained operations in low-Earth orbit.
The revised edition of this practical, hands-on book discusses the range of launch vehicles in use today throughout the world, and includes the very latest details of some of the advanced propulsion systems currently being developed.
