Bøger i AIAA Education Series serien

Offers a comprehensive treatment of dynamics of space systems, starting with the fundamentals and covering topics from basic kinematics and dynamics to advanced celestial mechanics. This book focuses on the use of rotating reference frames that often occur in aerospace systems.

Provides an introduction to gas turbine and rocket propulsion for aerospace and mechanical engineers. This text is divided into four parts: basic concepts and gas dynamics; analysis of rocket propulsion systems; parametric and performance analysis of air breathing propulsion systems; and analysis and design of major gas turbine engine components.

Provides coverage of the tools required to write a flight simulation mathematical model. This book begins with a discussion that focuses on the types of flight simulation that are possible. From there, chapters are dedicated to vectors, vector resolution and the many axis systems used in helicopter analysis.

Provides a project-based learning experience for engineering students, who are tasked with designing a hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle. This experience guides students through the same process that a team of engineers would follow by breaking a large design problem into smaller, more tractable subproblems.

A self-contained text for those interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. The book provides a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas.

Presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. A virtual encyclopedia of engineering, this book is known for its completeness, easy-to-read style, and real-world approach to the process of design.

Presents a complete and realistic aircraft engine design experience. From the request for proposal for a new aircraft to the final engine layout, this book outlines the concepts and procedures required for the entire process.
