Advances in Aeronautical Sciences, Volume 1 contains the proceedings of the First International Congress in the Aeronautical Sciences, held in Madrid, Spain in September 1958. The book is comprised of survey papers and original contributions that discuss common problems in aeronautics and in space technology. The reader will also find interesting articles that cover topics on the principles of inertial guidance; boundary layer control; VTOL/STOL aircraft; heat resisting material; heat transfer and heat barrier; and jet noises and human factors in aeronautics. Hypersonic speeds; propulsion methods in space and magneto-fluid dynamics are discussed as well. Aeronautics engineers and scientists in allied fields will find the book insightful.

Aerospace science and technology have made remarkable progress in the last century. Although a few publications have written on this topic, most are inadequate in elucidating the various advanced technologies developed in recent years. For this reason, publishing a book in which prominent researchers elaborate and discuss their research efforts in conjunction with other efforts appears sensible. In this book, the most accurate and current materials were gathered, reviewed, and presented by an exceptional group of experts. This book presents state-of-the-art and current developments and applications in aerospace. This is a Part II continuation book of previously published edited book composed of the following:· Chapter 1: Application of High-Performance Interconnection in Aerospace Technology· Chapter 2: Knitted Structures in Aerospace Applications· Chapter 3: Carbon Nanotube-Reinforced Hierarchical Carbon Fibre Composites· Chapter 4: Influence of Aviation Fuel on Composite Materials· Chapter 5: Deterioration in Aero-Engines· Chapter 6: Important Aerodyamic Parameters in Flapping-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicles· Chapter 7: Visual Localisation and Mapping using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles· Chapter 8: Geospatial Mapping Using SatellitesThis book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students as well as professionals in the field of aeronautical/aerospace engineering. The book could also serve as a guide for engineers and practitioners, academicians, government agencies, and industries.

Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature. The Aerospace Materials Handbook examines these materials, covering traditional superalloys as well as more recently developed light alloys. Capturing state-of-the-art d

Advanced Composite Materials for Aerospace Engineering: Processing, Properties and Applications predominately focuses on the use of advanced composite materials in aerospace engineering. It discusses both the basic and advanced requirements of these materials for various applications in the aerospace sector, and includes discussions on all the main types of commercial composites that are reviewed and compared to those of metals. Various aspects, including the type of fibre, matrix, structure, properties, modeling, and testing are considered, as well as mechanical and structural behavior, along with recent developments. There are several new types of composite materials that have huge potential for various applications in the aerospace sector, including nanocomposites, multiscale and auxetic composites, and self-sensing and self-healing composites, each of which is discussed in detail. The book's main strength is its coverage of all aspects of the topics, including materials, design, processing, properties, modeling and applications for both existing commercial composites and those currently under research or development. Valuable case studies provide relevant examples of various product designs to enhance learning. - Contains contributions from leading experts in the field - Provides a comprehensive resource on the use of advanced composite materials in the aerospace industry - Discusses both existing commercial composite materials and those currently under research or development
