This monograph investigates the trajectory optimization problems of low- and finite-thrust aerospace vehicles and spacecraft using an indirect method based on the Pontryagin maximum principle, providing a methodological basis for the construction of numerical techniques that are superior in versatility and accuracy to direct methods.

MiG-21: Das bekannteste sowjetische FlugzeugTauchen Sie ein in die faszinierende Geschichte der Mikojan-Gurewitsch MiG-21, einem der meistgebauten Kampfflugzeuge!

Most lifting bodies, or "flying bathtubs" as they were called, were so ugly only an engineer could love them, and yet, what an elegant way to keep wings from burning off in supersonic flight between earth and orbit.

Aircraft are amazing machines that can leap into the sky with seemingly little effort.

Solutions for Problems in Fluids and Turbomachinery offers a clear and practical approach to mastering complex topics in fluid mechanics and turbomachines.

Ernsting's Aviation and Space Medicine applies current understanding in medicine, physiology and the behavioural sciences to the medical challenges and stresses that are faced by both civil and military aircrew, and their passengers, on a daily basis.

To arrive safely at a distant destination, pilots need to understand the key components of flight planning.

Aircraft structures, powerplants and systems knowledge is one of the fundamental topics a pilot must master to operate an aircraft safely.

The weather and its associated hazards will be a major concern for pilots every time they leap into the sky.

The engines powering aircraft come in many shapes and sizes, but all will usually be one of two types: a piston or gas turbine engine (jet engine).

Since the early days of flight, airports have been a focal point of aircraft activity.

This book explains unmanned systems including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs).

The study of pilot performance and limitations is now one of the major areas a pilot must master to fly an aircraft safely.

Pilots can encounter a range of hazardous weather conditions each time they conduct a flight; from icing, which can turn an aircraft into an ice block in a matter of minutes, to large hailstones that can come crashing through the windscreen.

Despite aircraft coming in many shapes and sizes, they all have weight and balance limitations that pilots must carefully check before every flight.

Aircraft are amazing machines that are constantly pushing the limits of flight.

Presenting research papers contributed by experts in dynamics and control, Advances in Dynamics and Control examines new ideas, reviews the latest results, and investigates emerging directions in the rapidly-growing field of aviation and aerospace.

Since the very earliest years of aviation, it was clear that human factors were critical to the success and safety of the system.

Despite generations of change and recent, rapid developments in gas dynamics and hypersonic theory, relevant literature has yet to catch up, so those in the field are generally forced to rely on dated monographs to make educated decisions that reflect present-day science.

Mathematical Modelling of Aerospace Dynamic Systems with Practical Applications provides mathematical models for several aerospace dynamic systems: aircraft, rotorcraft, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mini air vehicles (MAVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUWVs), and satellite-coordinate systems.

Presenting a comprehensive coverage, Air Transport System Analysis and Modelling is a unique text dealing with the analysis and modelling of the processes and operations carried out in all three parts of the air transport system, namely, airports, air traffic control and airlines.

History and Development of Airline Cabin Safety offers an understanding of how cabin safety evolved over time.

The rapid evolution of technical capabilities in the systems engineering (SE) community requires constant clarification of how to answer the following questions: What is Systems Architecture?

Optimization of aviation and space vehicle design requires accurate assessment of the dynamic stability and general properties of hybrid materials used in aviation parts.

Aerospace Materials provides a grounding in state-of-the-art aerospace materials technology, including developments in aluminum, titanium, and nickel alloys, as well as polymers and polymer composites.

Stringent demands on modern guided weapon systems require new approaches to guidance, control, and estimation.

The chapters in the book come from an international group of authors with diverse backgrounds including ergonomics, psychology, architecture, computer science, engineering, and sociology.

Working knowledge of the relations of various quantities and their derivatives across a shock wave is useful for any advanced research involving shock waves.
