The Aircraft Designers: A Grumman Historical Perspective tells the behind-the-scenes story of the designers and engineers who conceived and built Grumman aircraft from the founding of the company in 1929 until its 1994 acquisition by Northrop. While Grumman aircraft have been previously documented, The Aircraft Designers focuses instead on the people, disciplines, processes, and anecdotes behind the creation of such past icons as the F6F Wildcat and TBF Avenger and modern-day weapon systems like the F-14 Tomcat, E-2 Hawkeye, EA-6B Prowler, and Joint STARS. Michael Ciminera has identified key team members who contributed to the creation and development of each new design, creating an unparalleled historical record of the aeronautical achievements of the Grumman Corporation. He has also chronicled the evolution from the aircraft design of the past, which bore the earmark of the chief engineer/designer, to today's complex aircraft systems, which require a significant team effort involving such disciplines as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, systems analysis, software, simulation, testing, and much more. The Aircraft Designers provides a unique insight into the leadership traits, technical skills, and lasting contributions of Grumman's designers. It will stand as the definitive historical account of the people who made Grumman aircraft a reality.

Global Aeronautical Communication, Navigation, and Surveillance (CNS): Volume 1 - Theory introduces the basic theoretical principles of communications, space technology, and antenna technology and their use in air traffic control (ATC) and air traffic management (ATM) systems. Topics Discussed * Development of airborne radio and satellite CNS and how they improve determination, safety, security, and distress alerting as well as enabling more cost-effective flight and ground infrastructures * Fundamentals of space platforms and orbital parameters, laws of satellite motion, new types of launching systems, satellite orbits and geometric relations, spacecraft configuration, payload structure, and satellite link design * Transmission systems, including discussion of modulation, demodulation, coding, error correction, multiple access, and mobile Internet * Airborne antenna systems * Propagation effects important for aeronautical requirements Special Features * A look into the past, present, and future of radio and satellite technologies * Theoretical guidelines, ready-to-use references, and performance evaluations

Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is an updated and in-depth practical guide to integrated avionic systems as applied to civil aircraft. This new edition has been expanded to include the latest developments in modern avionics. It describes avionic systems and potential developments in the field to help educate students and practitioners in the process of designing, building, and operating modern aircraft in the contemporary aviation system. Integration is a predominant theme of the book, since even as aircraft systems are becoming more integrated and complex, so are the economic, political, and technical environments in which they operate. Key features: content that is based on many years of practical industrial experience by the authors on a range of civil and military projects; focus on the integration and interconnectedness of systems in modern complex aircraft; updated contents in light of latest applications; and, substantial new material on avionics technology, software, and system safety. The authors are all recognized experts, and between them have over 140 years of experience in the aircraft industry. Their direct and accessible style ensures that Civil Avionics Systems, Second Edition is a must-have guide to integrated avionic systems in modern aircraft for aerospace students and practitioners.
