《Tactical Missile Design》第二版是一部深入探讨战术导弹设计原理与技术细节的专业著作,为工程师和研究人员提供了宝贵的参考。
Tactical Missile Design, Second Edition is the first textbook on this subject to be published in over forty years. It caters to the needs of aerospace engineering students, missile engineers, and program managers overseeing missile projects.
The book aims to introduce tactical missile design into aerospace engineering curriculums so that recent graduates are well-equipped for their careers with essential knowledge in this field.
Drawing on decades of experience in developing tactical missiles and associated technologies, the author presents an integrated handbook approach to missile design. The text employs straightforward, physics-based analytical expressions to provide insight into key parameters. It also includes example calculations for rocket-powered and ramjet-powered baseline missiles, typical values of missile parameters, characteristics of current operational missiles, discussions on enabling subsystems and technologies used in tactical missiles, as well as the state-of-the-art advancements in this field.
The book comes with a CD-ROM featuring electronic versions of all figures; 29 videos demonstrating design considerations, development testing procedures, manufacturing processes, and technological innovations; six detailed case studies on missile designs; sizing methods for configurations; and an outreach program aimed at middle school students to foster interest in aerospace engineering.
