Having worked for the US government, for defense contractors, and in academia, Fleeman now lectures internationally on missile systems. Here he presents a textbook for aerospace engineering students and instructors, systems analysts, system engineers, and others engaged in developing missile systems and technology. He covers aerodynamics, propulsion, weight, and flight performance considerations in the missile design and system engineering process; measures of merit and launch platform integration/system engineering; sizing examples and sizing tools; and the development process. This is an expansion of his 2006 second edition of his Tactical Missile Design to put more emphasis on system engineering. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
