More than 50 years ago, pioneering scientists and engineers in the Soviet Union and the US searched for a technical means of defense against ballistic missiles. Mike Gruntman tells the story, little-known even to experts, of the earliest breakthroughs which paved the way for the emergence of a powerful missile defense complex in the Soviet Union.

The most exciting moment for an aeronautical engineer is when his or her design becomes a working aircraft, the endpoint of a journey that begins in the classroom. Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective shows students the methods and thought processes involved in designing aircraft.

Features material initially developed for lectures presented at the Opening Training School of Stardust. The book covers a range of topics and disciplines developed within Stardust and provides a mixture of fundamental material, practical applications-and examples of key enabling technologies for the future.

Chronicles the dawn of a fast-moving commercial space age in which initiative from the private sector is launching innovation into tomorrow. This is the story of the pioneers and private companies around the globe currently developing new spacecraft, planning futuristic spaceports, and seeking to offer a range of 'space travel' services for all.

Introduces the basic theoretical principles of communications, space technology, and antenna technology and their use in air traffic control (ATC) and air traffic management (ATM) systems.

Includes description of several new modules in STructural Analysis RoutineS (STARS), a multidisciplinary, finite element-based, graphics oriented, linear and nonlinear analysis tool. Each individual analysis module is general-purpose in nature and is integrated to yield aeroelastic and aeroservoelastic solutions to complex engineering problems.

Formally published for the first time, Professor William R. Sears classic work, "Introduction to Theoretical Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics, "reflects many years of continual evolution as a course study guide at the Graduate School of Aeronautical Engineering at Cornell University, with updates prepared by his former students to enhance ease of use by todays students. Instructors will find this a superb textbook for a first course in ideal aerodynamics and/or hydrodynamics. Because Sears was a master of connecting mathematical concepts with physical fluid dynamic quantities, readers will find fundamental concepts directly connected to practical applications in the numerous step-by-step examples found throughout the book. SPECIAL FEATURES

Based on interviews, memoirs, and oral histories of the scientists and engineers involved, CIA documents, and photographs, reports, and technical drawings from Lockheed and Convair, this title presents a technical history of the evolution of the Lockheed A-12 Blackbird.

Explores the theory and practice of designing and building inhabited environments in outer space. Written by the global network of practicing space architects, the book introduces a wealth of ideas and images explaining how humans live in space now, and how they may do so in the near and distant future.

All aspects of fuel products and systems including fuel handling, quantity gauging and management functions for both commercial (civil) and military applications. The fuel systems on board modern aircraft are multi-functional, fully integrated complex networks. They are designed to provide a proper and reliable management of fuel resources throughout all phases of operation, notwithstanding changes in altitude or speed, as well as to monitor system functionality and advise the flight crew of any operational anomalies that may develop. Collates together a wealth of information on fuel system design that is currently disseminated throughout the literature. Authored by leading industry experts from Airbus and Parker Aerospace. Includes chapters on basic system functions, features and functions unique to military aircraft, fuel handling, fuel quantity gauging and management, fuel systems safety and fuel systems design and development. Accompanied by a companion website housing a MATLAB/SIMULINK model of a modern aircraft fuel system that allows the user to set up flight conditions, investigate the effects of equipment failures and virtually fly preset missions. Aircraft Fuel Systems provides a timely and invaluable resource for engineers, project and programme managers in the equipment supply and application communities, as well as for graduate and postgraduate students of mechanical and aerospace engineering. It constitutes an invaluable addition to the established Wiley Aerospace Series.

X-43 project achieved the first in-flight testing of a scramjet engine, at speeds of nearly Mach 7 and Mach 10. This book presents the history of the X-43 project. It details the development of the scramjet, providing the reader with an understanding of how external factors influence a technology.

Combustion instability has long been recognized as one of the important but difficult problems in the development of propulsion systems. The US and the former Soviet Union were simultaneously working during the Cold War to solve the instability problem. This book exposes theoretical work on combustion instabilities.
