Vectored Propulsion, Supermaneuverability and Robot Aircraft (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book is designed to fill a professional vacuum in the new field of advance, high-angle, vectored stealth aircraft. The subject matter presented in the volume has never before been investigated and presented as a unified field of study because it covers entirely new fields and because specialized fragments of this unified field are scattered throughout literature in specific problems. The book is of interest to aeronautical and mechanical engineers, electrical and control engineers, aerospace industry, USAF, US Navy, NASA, pilots and instructors.
