Supersonic combustion ramjet (SCRJ) engine research and development begun some 40 years ago is the key to airbreathing hypersonic flight. Many unexpected complexities of SCRJ engine combustion and combustor-inlet interaction have been continuing challenges. However, valuable progress has been made in several aspects. In the next few years, it would appear that significant flight testing will take place in several countries and this should lead to further understanding of SCRJ processes in engine design for cruise and accelerator vehicle applications.

The biggest single increase in the US defence budget request for modernization spending over the next six years is for ballistic missile defence, including theatre and national systems. Engineers, managers and policy makers will need to stay abreast of the ever-changing state of the art in theatre ballistic missile defence. This text covers the special technical and design issues involved in the development of a ballistic missile defence system. Dr Neveh pulls together 40 years of experience in Israeli theatre missile defence activities and provides in a single volume, Theatre Ballistic...

Written by many experts in the field, this book brings together, in one place, the state of the art of membrane and inflatable structure technology for space applications. With increased pressure to reduce costs associated with design, fabrication and launch of space structures, there has been a resurgence of interest in membrane structures for extraterrestrial use. Applications for membrane and inflatable structures in space include lunar and planetary habitats, RF reflectors and waveguides, optical and IR imaging, solar concentrators for solar power and propulsion, sun shades, solar sails...

Recently, there has been a serious effort to design aircraft that are as small as possible for special, limited-duration missions. These vehicles may carry visual, acoustic, chemical, or biological sensors for such missions as traffic management, hostage situation surveillance, rescue operations, etc. The goal is to develop aircraft systems that weigh less than 90 grams, with a 15-centimetre wingspan. Since it is not possible to meet all of the design requirements of a micro air vehicle with current technology, research is proceeding. This new book reports on the latest research in the area...
