Mach 5 and Beyond: Hypersonic Warfare, Missile Technology and Global Strategic Implications
Mach 5 and Beyond: Hypersonic Warfare, Missile Technology and Global Strategic Implications-This book provides a comprehensive exploration of hypersonic technology, focusing on its growing significance in modern warfare. It is structured into five parts, each addressing a different aspect of hypersonic weapons.
Part I lays the foundation, explaining the definition, types, and characteristics of hypersonic weapons, such as glide vehicles and cruise missiles. It covers the physics of hypersonic flight, the challenges posed by extreme speeds, and the materials needed to withstand such conditions. A detailed analysis of propulsion systems like scramjets and ramjets highlights future innovations in this field.
Airbreathing Hypersonic Propulsion: An Introduction
This book details science of hypersonics especially focusing on propulsion aspects such as supersonic combustion ramjets and their applications, and also includes lift and drag in hypersonic flight and their mathematical and physical explanation.It provides charts and data from hypersonic testing and measurements from actual vehicles and engines built in the past. Criteria to dimension hypersonic powered and unpowered vehicles (gliders) based on fundamental fluid dynamics and backed by flight testing; criteria to preliminary sizing vehicles and preliminary dimensioning of supersonic combustors are introduced. The book will serve better theoretical understanding of drag, lift and how to apply them to the design of hypersonic vehicles, as well as data to size vehicles and supersonic combustion ramjet (SCRJ) systems.
Hypersonic and High-Temperature Gas Dynamics (AIAA Education)
Hypersonic and High-Temperature Gas Dynamics, Third Edition is a successful, self-contained text for those interested in learning hypersonic flow and high-temperature gas dynamics. Like previous editions, it assumes no prior familiarity with either subject on the part of the reader. It provides a cohesive presentation of the fundamentals, a development of important theory and techniques, a discussion of the salient results with emphasis on the physical aspects, and a presentation of modern thinking in these areas.

Strapdown Analytics: Paul Savage
The second edition of Strapdown Analytics, Paul G Savage's 1,646 page two volume hard cloth cover text is in stock now and available for purchase. The book is a detailed comprehensive tutorial of the author's knowledge in all analytical aspects of unaided and Kalman filter aided strapdown inertial navigation. This includes not only the algorithms implemented in the strapdown system computer, but the analytics associated with system validation, test, simulation, and performance analysis. Equations are derived from basics including intermediate steps, avoiding the common practice of referencing supporting equations to other source material.
