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.

La péface indique : "EUCASS (European Conference for Aero-Space Sciences) is a scientific association at the service of research scientists, engineers, and decision makers active in aeronautical and space sciences. EUCASS, which is an international nonprofit association under the Belgian law, addresses all topics of interest to aerospace, from research challenges to long-term programmes and prospective. It organizes regular conferences, workshops, and meetings. Its goal is to attract the best specialists from Europe and elsewhere, and to create a commonwealth of interest and challenges where in-formation and ideas circulate freely and swiftly, where the currently scattered European knowledge is exchanged much faster and cross-fertilised. EUCASS is the cradle that nurtures a friendly and lively community spirit among all players. It started its activities in 2005 by organizing the first-ever European conference in Moscow, followed at a biennial rate in Brussels and Versailles. In order to contribute to the dissemination of scientific knowledge, we have launched this EUCASS Book Series, the first and second volumes of which were dedicated to Propulsion Physics and presented a selection of the lectures given in Brussels in July 2007. EUCASS is organized in several permanent Technical Committees (TC). One of them is the Flight Physics TC. Within the broad EUCASS framework, the specificc purpose of the Flight Physics TC is to promote the technology, sciences, and arts of Flight physics and to help those engaged in these pursuits to develop their skills and those of their students. This third volume of the EUCASS Book Series on Advances in Aerospace Sciences is dedicated to Flight Physics. It comprises a selected collection of 43 papers presented at the 3rd European Conference for Aerospace Sciences held in Versailles, France, July 06-10, 2009. The current volume is the result of a long review process. About 1/3 of the total number of papers accepted for presentation at the conference was later selected by the volume editors, then edited by an international body of peer reviewers. The volume includes six chapters covering experimental, theoretical and numerical aspects of the fight physics: Chapter One Aerodynamics, Chapter Two Shock Interaction, Chapter Three High Enthalphy Flows, Chapter Four Heat Transfer, Chapter Five Aeroacoustics, Chapter Six Flow Control. To easily identify the material of interest, the reader is invited to consult the brief paper summaries compiled at the start of each chapter."

Frontiers of Propulsion Science is the first-ever compilation of emerging science relevant to such notions as space drives, warp drives, gravity control, and faster-than-light travel - the kind of breakthroughs that would revolutionize spaceflight and enable human voyages to other star systems. Although these concepts might sound like science fiction, they are appearing in growing numbers in reputable scientific journals. This is a nascent field where a variety of concepts and issues are being explored in the scientific literature, beginning in about the early 1990s. The collective status is still in step 1 and 2 of the scientific method, with initial observations being made and initial hypotheses being formulated, but a small number of approaches are already at step 4, with experiments underway. This emerging science, combined with the realization that rockets are fundamentally inadequate for interstellar exploration, led NASA to support the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Project from 1996 through 2002.""Frontiers of Propulsion Science"" covers that project as well as other related work, so as to provide managers, scientists, engineers, and graduate students with enough starting material that they can comprehend the status of this research and decide if and how to pursue it in more depth themselves. Five major sections are included in the book: Understanding the Problem lays the groundwork for the technical details to follow; Propulsion Without Rockets discusses space drives and gravity control, both in general terms and with specific examples; Faster-Than-Light Travel starts with a review of the known relativistic limits, followed by the faster-than-light implications from both general relativity and quantum physics; Energy Considerations deals with spacecraft power systems and summarizes the limits of technology based on accrued science; and, From This Point Forward offers suggestions for how to manage and conduct research on such visionary topics.

In today's world, the range of technologies with the potential to threaten the security of U.S. military forces is extremely broad. These include developments in explosive materials, sensors, control systems, robotics, satellite systems, and computing power, to name just a few. Such technologies have not only enhanced the capabilities of U.S. military forces, but also offer enhanced offensive capabilities to potential adversaries - either directly through the development of more sophisticated weapons, or more indirectly through opportunities for interrupting the function of defensive U.S. military systems. Passive and active electro-optical (EO) sensing technologies are prime examples. Laser Radar considers the potential of active EO technologies to create surprise; i.e., systems that use a source of visible or infrared light to interrogate a target in combination with sensitive detectors and processors to analyze the returned light. The addition of an interrogating light source to the system adds rich new phenomenologies that enable new capabilities to be explored. This report evaluates the fundamental, physical limits to active EO sensor technologies with potential military utility; identifies key technologies that may help overcome the impediments within a 5-10 year timeframe; considers the pros and cons of implementing each existing or emerging technology; and evaluates the potential uses of active EO sensing technologies, including 3D mapping and multi-discriminate laser radar technologies.
