| 520 | |a "History and Evolution of Aircraft reviews the history of aviation from early history to present day, including milestones of civil and military airplanes, helicopters, drones, balloons, and airships. It also provides the background and development of different types of aircraft, including manned and unmanned vehicles, aircraft carriers, fixed or rotary wings, air, sea, and amphibian flight vehicles. World conflicts are reviewed with a thorough description of the manned and unmanned aircraft used. Covering current and developing applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), the book highlights the prospects of future flying vehicles including automotives and jetpacks. It follows the transition from piston to jet engines that include shaft-based engines (turboprop, turboshaft, and propfan), turbine-based engines (turbojet and turbofan), and athodyd engines (ramjet, turbo-ramjet, and scramjet). The book explores flight vehicles' technological advancements and evolution, including their geometrical features and performance parameters. The book will be a useful reference for academic researchers and aviation, aerospace, and mechanical engineering students taking courses in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, aircraft engines, and propulsion. Aviation history enthusiasts will be interested in the scope of the contents as well. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual for their course"-- |c Provided by publisher. | ||
