Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets

Overview:

Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets introduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theory applied to the design and analysis of general flight control systems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presents a comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and space flight control systems including aircraft, rockets (missiles and launch vehicles), entry vehicles and spacecraft (both orbital and attitude control). The broad coverage of topics emphasizes the synergies among the various flight control systems and attempts to show their evolution from the same set of physical principles as well as their design and analysis by similar mathematical tools. In addition, this book presents state-of-art control system design methods - including multivariable, optimal, robust, digital and nonlinear strategies - as applied to modern flight control systems.

Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics, 3rd Edition

Overview:

Basic Helicopter Aerodynamics is widely appreciated as an easily accessible, rounded introduction to the first principles of the aerodynamics of helicopter flight. Simon Newman has brought this third edition completely up to date with a full new set of illustrations and imagery. An accompanying website www.wiley.com/go/seddon contains all the calculation files used in the book, problems, solutions, PPT slides and supporting MATLAB® code.

Simon Newman addresses the unique considerations applicable to rotor UAVs and MAVs, and coverage of blade dynamics is expanded to include both flapping, lagging and ground resonance. New material is included on blade tip design, flow characteristics surrounding the rotor in forward flight, tail rotors, brown-out, blade sailing and shipborne operations.

Concentrating on the well-known Sikorsky configuration of single main rotor with tail rotor, early chapters deal with the aerodynamics of the rotor in hover, vertical flight, forward flight and climb. Analysis of these motions is developed to the stage of obtaining the principal results for thrust, power and associated quantities. Later chapters turn to the characteristics of the overall helicopter, its performance, stability and control, and the important field of aerodynamic research is discussed, with some reference also to aerodynamic design practice.

This introductory level treatment to the aerodynamics of helicopter flight will appeal to aircraft design engineers and undergraduate and graduate students in aircraft design, as well as practicing engineers looking for an introduction to or refresher course on the subject.

Electromagnetic Shielding and Corrosion Protection for Aerospace Vehicles

Overview

Electromagnetic shielding is a critical requirement for aerospace, ground vehicles and structures that require protection from radiated electromagnetic energy and lightning strike. Corrosion destroys shielding effectiveness by reducing electrical conductivity. And therein lies the challenge: to maintain effective electromagnetic shielding while simultaneously negating environmental oxidation of metals, biological attack and general deterioration of conductive nonmetallic materials. The experimental work which forms the basis for this book has provided a novel technological understanding of electromagnetic shielding and how corrosion affects the shielding properties, and has been remarkably successful when applied to aerospace vehicles.

Electromagnetic shielding and corrosion prevention are pervasive interests in both commercial product and military system development. This book will be important to aerospace engineers, automotive engineers, electrical engineers, EMI/EMC engineers, ballistic engineers, and other professionals; and also to chemists, electrochemists, polymer scientists, and others interested in corrosion.
