Designing Unmanned Aircraft Systems - A Comprehensive Approach

Unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are revolutionizing the way we explore our global environment. Whether it’s to monitor severe weather events or used in a military operation, these machines and the components that operate them are changing the way we approach flight. In his book the author investigates all elements of UAS design, including architectural options, and design drivers across diverse systems classes. As the most authoritative single reference on UAS design, the book provides readers a solid understanding of the end-to-end unmanned aircraft system and gain a deeper appreciation for the multidisciplinary nature of UAS design. - Data and information appearing in this book are for informational purposes only.
