Tactical Missile Design (Aiaa Education Series)

By Eugene Fleeman

This textbook is oriented towards the needs of aerospace engineering students, missile engineers, and missile program managers. It is intended to provide a basis for including tactical missile design as part of the aerospace engineering curriculum, providing new graduates with the knowledge they will need in their careers. This text uses simple closed-form analytical expressions that are physics-based, to provide insight into the primary driving parameters. It also provides example calculations of rocket-powered and ramjet-powered baseline missiles, typical values of missile parameters, examples of the characteristics of current operational missiles, discussion of the enabling subsystems and technologies of tactical missiles, and the current/projected state-of-the-art of tactical missiles.
