The book shows how the various engineering disciplines - eg:- aerodynamics, electronics, economics, and material structures, optics, thermodynamics, etc. -are integrated into the design, and are employed in the development and deployment of UAV systems. There are chapters on the definition of unmanned aircraft systems, their raison d'etre, their history, process of development and modus operandi. This title will form a valuable addition to the Aerospace Series, which currently features a systematic approach to aerospace design.Reg Austin is an aeronautical consultant who delivers courses on UAVs at Liverpool and Bristol universities. He co-founded the Bristol International Remotely Piloted Vehicle (RPV) conferences in 1979 under the joint sponsorship of the Department of Aeronautical Engineering of the University and the Royal Aeronautical Society, which are now the largest UAV conferences worldwide. He has almost 40 years experience in the direction and control of the design, development and operation of UAV systems.
