Product Description
Product Description
A comprehensive one-stop resource of references, data, and essential information on the latest in aircraft and spacecraft science and military engineering.
From the Back Cover
The first comprehensive resource expressly for aerospace engineers!
GET INSTANT INSIGHT INTO ANY AEROSPACE ISSUE!
In the past, aerospace engineers and students have had to access a wide array of trade publications and books for comprehensive coverage of their highly specialized industry. That’s because with The Standard Handbook for Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineers, those practitioners now have a resource that delivers a combination of reference, data, and handy information — all within the pages of a single, easy-to-use volume!
Containing contributions from more than 50 aerospace specialists — and edited by an internationally renowned aeronautical engineering expert and educator — this handbook frames the technological applications in a perspective that specifically addresses aircraft and engineering science. As a result, you get insightful, practical guidance into the gamut of aerospace engineering, including:
* Instrumentation and control
* Aeronautical and astronautical propulsion
* Aerospace structures
* Aerodynamics, flight mechanics, control, and stability
* Avionics and astrionics
* Aircraft design
* Spacecraft
* Earth’s environment and space
* And much, much more!
Plus, The Standard Handbook for Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineers is richly illustrated with hundreds upon hundreds of informative diagrams, charts, and graphs. From basic engineering science and mathematics to astrodynamics, this book is the one resource that all starting and mature aerospace engineers need to take their work to new heights.

A Single Reference Source for All Areas
15 Jan 2007
Format:Hardcover
This is a handbook in which the working (or student) aetonautical/astronautical engineer will find the constants, mathematics, theories and practice of the various sub-fields of his profession.
These include:
Mathematics Mechanical Engineering: Statics, Vibration, Fluids, Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer
Computing: Microprocessors, Instrumentation and Control
Aerospace Structures
Aerodynamics: Performance, Stability, Control
Avionics and Astrionics
Aeronautical Design
Spacecraft
Earth's Environment and Space
Aircraft Safety
Aircraft Maintenance
Rather than a textbook on any of these subsidiary subjects, this handbook is intended to serve as a reference book, a refresher if you will, so that the working engineer with a problem has one source to use to answer virtually any problem he is likely to encounter.
Mark Davies is listed as the Editor in Charge. Under him are three solid pages of contributors from literally around the world. They come from universities, government laboratories, industry and private consultancies. AC

A one-stop source for Aerospace Engineers
31 Aug 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this handbook when I entered the aerospace industry and I continue to be amazed at how much useful information it has for the engineering professional. I work with a variety of aircraft systems and the summary chapter on those topics is excellent. Now since this is a handbook it is by definition a high level look at the various topics of interest. But there are a myriad of details included that will help you understand how all aspects of an aircraft or spacecraft work together and how those vehicles interact with their environment. I recommend this book to anyone in the field.
