[request_ebook] The Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability Analysis and Design, Second Edition

Description

Today aircraft combat survivability is an established design discipline for U.S. military aircraft. More important, survivability is now an essential part of the U.S. Department of Defense acquisition process. Furthermore, improving public health, safety, and survivability is now woven throughout the civil and commercial sector. From infant car seats to the design of aircraft cargo bay structures that can withstand internal bomb blasts, the government is taking the lead in establishing survivability standards. Approximately 10,000 copies of the first edition were sold in five printings. It remains the only book of its kind and is required reading for anyone involved in the design of air combat vehicles. The extensively illustrated second edition of the textbook presents the fundamentals of the aircraft combat survivability design discipline as defined by DoD military standards and acquisition processes. It provides the history of, and the concepts, assessment methodology, and design technology for combat survivability analysis and design of fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, UAVs, and missiles. Each chapter specifies learning objectives; stresses important points; and includes notes, references, bibliographies, and questions. The Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability: Analysis and Design on CD-ROM is included with your purchase of the hardcover. The CD-ROM gives you the portability and searchability that you need in your busy environment. It is considerably smaller and lighter than the textbook so it is available when you are away from the office or traveling. It can also be searched to quickly locate a particular word or phrase.

Read more about aircraft survivability in the feature article, Designing for Survivability , by Robert E. Ball and Dale B. Atkinson, in the November 2005 issue of Aerospace America. Here's what the reviewers are saying: ". . . the textbook provides a lucid introduction to the field of survivability, offering even the layperson a basic understanding of issues to be considered. But it doesn’t do so at the expense of its core audience, the student engineer. . . . Ball illustrates clearly the complexity of dealing with an attack on aircraft . . . very effective at graphically illustrating the ideas. . . . Useful and relevant tables and equations are numerous. . . . Although the publication focuses on military aircraft, both fixed-wing and helicopters, there are clear implications and lessons to be gleaned for commercial airliners, which have now also become potential targets." - Robert Wall, in Aviation Week and Space Technology "The only book on the aircraft survivability discipline that speaks to both the operator and the engineer.   The bible of aircraft survivability!" - Major Robert "Wanna" Mann Chief, B-2 Branch, Wright-Patterson AFB "Prof Ball's first textbook served as the bible for the survivability community for the last 20 years and his new textbook is even better and should serve as the bible for the next 20 years.  He did a great job on this textbook!" - Dale Atkinson, Survivability Consultant, and former Staff Assistant for Survivability in the Office of the Secretary of Defense "I highly recommend Prof. Ball's revised text to professionals with a direct or indirect interest in aircraft survivability.  It contains a wealth of information relevant to improving the survivability of our combat aircraft, and to understanding how design decisions affect aircraft survivability.   The revised text is especially timely, given the increased incidence of threats against civilian aircraft.   For those concerned about aircraft survivability, there is no comparable resource." -  Lowell Tonnessen, Ph.D., Assistant Director, Operational Evaluation Division, Institute for Defense Analyses "The second edition of Dr. Ball’s landmark work, Fundamentals of Aircraft Combat Survivability Analysis and Design, is of the same high quality as the first edition, but with the information updated to reflect today’s world. The book contains something for everyone.  There is analytical rigor for the experienced specialist, as well as top-level overviews that are useful to non-specialists who wish to gain an understanding of survivability.  This book is the most complete discussion of survivability available in an unclassified source. Many practitioners of the survivability discipline consider themselves students of Dr. Ball, even if they have never been in his classroom.  He is credited with establishing survivability as a formal engineering discipline. This book belongs on the desk of everyone who works in the survivability field." -  Dennis A. Fenn, Strategic Development, Boeing Phantom Works "I believe that the text will project a reference point that enriches the sources of research for any aircraft survivability project." - Major Panagopoulos Ilias, Hellenic Air Force "The best book on this subject available in the public domain." - Lina Chang, Lockheed Martin ". . . An excellent reference." - Ray C. Terry, Ph.D., SURVICE Engineering Company
