The purpose of this field guide is to assist the reader, step-by-step, in implementing a Quality Management System (QMS) in conformance with AS9100. This field guide has been created in order to foster an inner-reliance between senior management, middle management, functional teams and the individual. Users of the field guide will find within it practical tools, tips and techniques useful for not only implementing a QMS but also for maintaining one.

It doesn't matter if you are restoring a classic car, building a hot rod or custom bike, or fabricating a racing car-it all comes down to nuts, bolts, and a host of other fastening devices. Selecting the right fastener for the job is critical at literally hundreds of points throughout your vehicle. The options are numerous and many applications are very specific.

Recent literature related to rotary-wing aerodynamics has increased geometrically; yet, the field has long been without the benefit of a solid, practical basic text. To fill that void in technical data, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) commissioned the highly respected practicing engineers and authors W. Z. Stepniewski and C. N. Keys to write one. The result: Rotary-Wing Aerodynamics, a clear, concise introduction, highly recommended by U.S.

This design guide was written to capture the author’s practical experience of designing, building and testing multi-rotor drone systems over the past decade. The lack of one single source of useful information meant that the past 10 years has been a steep learning curve, a lot of self-tuition and many trial and error tests. Lessons learnt the hard way are not always the best way to learn.

This book provides fundamental principles, design procedures, and design tools for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with three sections focusing on vehicle design, autopilot design, and ground system design. The design of manned aircraft and the design of UAVs have some similarities and some differences. They include the design process, constraints (e.g., g-load, pressurization), and UAV main components (autopilot, ground station, communication, sensors, and payload).
