Synopsis

This book describes the application of aeronautical analysis for conventional aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicle and helicopter. The recent progress in some aeronautical analysis are divided into two approaches, i) experimental and ii) computational. Experimental approach basically the exact solution for the real application analysis in aeronautical field and computational approach is basically the prediction analysis. This book is divided into two parts. The first part gathered the research on experimental approaches to analyse the performance of specific applications or aerodynamic characteristics. In the first chapter, is highlighted about the role of the aeronautics engineering in higher educational perspective. How important the aeronautics knowledge in Malaysia and national needs about this programs. In chapter two, there is highlighting about the development of the synthetic aero-jet actuators. The methodology is important to help the advanced research in aeronautics analysis in wind tunnel system. In addition, the wind tunnel system able to perform the aerodynamics characteristics on lifting surface body, helicopter tail shake and flight testing are explained in chapter three, four and five respectively. The first five chapter are shown how importance of experimental approach for aeronautical application. To complement the experimental approach, the second part will introduce the computational approach to perform aeronautical analysis. The making of decisions based on the computational approach is important to support the experiment approach for predicted value before experiment approach is implemented. Here, the knowledge about PID controller, stability augmentation system, numerical simulation and finite element analysis are explained in chapter six to chapter ten. The computational power needed to support advanced decision making based on automated calculations of big data and processes of the familiar analysis tools. Therefore, this book is suitable as a platform to the aeronautical designers to read and understand the analysis process for a specific problem. Both the researchers and students should find the material useful in their work.
