Aerospace Engineering: Design, Development and Applications - Bog

Aerospace engineering is the discipline of engineering that deals with the development of aircraft and spacecraft. Aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering are the two branches of aerospace engineering. Aeronautical engineering is concerned with the study, design and manufacturing of air flight capable machines, whereas astronautically engineering is linked to the field of rocket science. The interaction between technologies like aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, materials science, structural analysis and manufacturing is characterised as aerospace engineering. It includes elements like radar cross section, flight test, aero acoustics, noise control, risk and reliability, solid mechanics etc. Theoretical physics is the basis of most of these elements that fall under aerospace engineering. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of aerospace engineering. Also included herein is a detailed explanation of the various concepts and applications of aerospace engineering. Through this book, we attempt to further enlighten the readers about the new concepts in this field.
