This is an essential handy guide containing useful up to date information regularly needed by the student or practising engineer. Covering all aspects of aircraft, both fixed wing and rotary craft, this pocket book provides quick access to useful aeronautical engineering data and sources of information for further in-depth information.

"Most useful in working with wing sections and methods for using section data to predict wing characteristics . . . much detailed geometric and aerodynamic data." -- Mechanical Engineering

Calculation and optimisation of flight performance is required to design or select new aircraft, efficiently operate existing aircraft, and upgrade aircraft. It provides critical data for aircraft certification, accident investigation, fleet management, flight regulations and safety. 

This book demonstrates that Eigenstructure control theory can be easily adapted and infused into aircraft industry s stringent design practices. Thus practicing flight control engineers will find it useful to explore the use of the new design concepts discussed in the book. 

This publication provides a fascinating look at NASA's research program using the YF-12. Among the aircraft designs that transitioned from paper to hardware during the high-speed era, the Lockheed Blackbirds hold a unique place. 

The National Aerospace Initiative (NAI) was conceived as a joint effort between the Department of Defense (DOD) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to sustain the aerospace leadership of the United States through the acceleration of selected aerospace technologies: hypersonic flight, access to space, and space technologies. 

In this book Curtis Peebles tells the story of the ''Dark Eagles''. These were planes which were developed, tested and operated in deepest secrecy and pushed aviation technology to its farthest limits.'

"Ed Heinemann has been the guiding force behind a remarkably successful series of combat aircraft, from the Dauntless dive bomber to the A-4 Skyhawk jet. In this comprehensive autobiographical record of his achievements, Ed Heinemann and coauthor, Rosario "Zipp" Rausea, have tried to tell it like it was, including the lows as well as the highs."

The Aerospace Industry Report 4th Edition addresses aerospace manufacturing and the national economy, the international economy, and the global aerospace marketplace.

 It also includes data on the U.S. aerospace workforce, aerospace clusters, the financial state of the aerospace industry, cyber security, the integration of unmanned aircraft systems into the U.S national airspace system, and America's role in space are also addressed. 

The history of propeller airliners, from the first dramatic passenger flights in converted World War I planes of the great turboprops of the 1940s and 1950s, is a proud one. 

Though outnumbered on today's major air routes, the propeller-driven airliner is successfully holding its own and is now challenging jet liners on short routes where fuel economy is important.
