"There are four key areas of aircraft design: aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and structure. When approaching the design process, aerospace engineers use systems engineering techniques to integrate the requirements for each of these four areasinto a completed aircraft design"-- Learn the aircraft design process from a systems-engineering perspective, designed for both aspiring and practicing aerospace engineers Aircraft design incorporates a range of technological areas, including aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and structure. Aircraft engineering design therefore requires techniques from systems engineering to integrate the requirements from these disparate areas into a coherent whole. There has never been a greater need for successful aerospace engineers to have a grasp of systems engineering and its applications in the field. Aircraft Design: A Systems Engineering Approach meets this need with a volume which takes the reader from conceptual design to detail design. Offering a systems engineering approach that weighs the needs of different aircraft components holistically, it provides readers with a practical look into the process of aircraft design. Now fully updated to reflect the latest industry developments, it promises to continue as an indispensable tool for modern students in the field. Readers of the second edition of Aircraft Design will also find: Brand new material on structural design, spoiler design, winglets, aircraft modification and modernization, and more Detailed discussion of emerging topics including all-electric aircraft design, VTOL aircraft design, and many others Guidance on the latest FAA requirements with a design impact Aircraft Design is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students interested in aircraft design, advanced aircraft design, and air vehicle design. The book may also be of interest to mechanical, industrial, and systems engineers working in the aerospace sector. Autorid: Mohammad H. Sadraey
This book is the first comprehensive archive-based study to explore governance, surveillance, political culture and public policymaking in colonial Hong Kong from 1966 to 1997, using newly released archival documents in London and Hong Kong. Using historical discipline, it provides a thorough understanding of state-society relations in Hong Kong. This book fills the long-standing void in the existing scholarship by constructing an empirical study of colonial governance and political culture in Hong Kong from 1966 to 1997.Using under-exploited archival and unofficial data in London and Hong Kong, it overcomes the limitations in the existing literature which has been written mainly by political scientists and sociologists, and has been primarily theoretically driven. It addresses a highly contested and timely agenda, one in which colonial historians have made major interventions: the nature of colonial governance and autonomy of the colonial polity. This book focusing on colonialism and the Chinese society in Hong Kong in a pivotal period will generate meaningful discussions and heated debates on comparisons between colonialism in different space and time: between Hong Kong and other former British colonies; and between colonial and post-colonial Hong Kong.
