Introduction to Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of engineering that combines the principles of fluid mechanics, materials science, structural engineering, etc. to design and develop space crafts and aircrafts. The discipline further bifurcates into two major branches namely aeronautical engineering and astronautical engineering. While aeronautical engineering deals with creating aircrafts, astronautical engineering focuses on space technology to build rocket-ships and satellites. Avionics is another branch of aerospace engineering which is concerned with the electrical aspects of the subject. Modern disciplines like computational fluid dynamics which uses the techniques of CAD and CAM along with finite numerical analysis are also being extensively used by upcoming engineers to reduce the cost and increase the efficiency of the designing process, making it an indispensible part of the aerospace engineering. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of aerospace engineering. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of aerospace engineering. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
