Attention: This book requires no knowledge of math! During my career as an aerospace engineer, I have come to find that math is only one small prerequisite for being successful in the field - what’s most important is passion. Aerospace engineering builds on several basic disciplines including mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, electronics and communications. Even just a rudimentary understanding of these fields enables a more rapid and deep understanding of the advancements in aerospace engineering - whether you be an interested spectator or professional in the field, this is your textbook. Our real limits are far beyond our current perception and we will challenge them for many centuries to come. In aviation, we continuously seek to fly higher and faster - this book‘s purpose is to give you an idea of the engineering principles which enable powered flights, space exploration and much more. Although humans have envied the flight of birds for many thousands of years, the engineering of powered flight is just over 100 years old, having started with the 12-second, 120-foot flight of the Wright brothers in 1903.Over the years, aerospace progress has demanded the further development of existing technical fields or creation of new ones building on the above basic disciplines. You might be the one to design, engineer and manage the next generation of aircraft, spacecraft, or beyond! However, all of this will require understanding the big picture and having an understanding of where we came from. For that, you first need to understand, how a bird flies, or a signal is sent to space. It’s an exciting time to be alive—enjoy! - Ed Gibson

"One of the best Aerospace Engineering books for beginners" - BookAuthority

From the Author

I tried to write this book for the one's who also suffer(ed) to learn about aviation and aerospace and instead had to encounter big formulas - even if they are not that deep into math or physics  - still can learn and grow their knowledge about what's going on in aviation, aerospace and the industry. Soon I will be writing about how Digital Transformation will change this industry. BTW if you found mistakes or problems in the book, feel free to contact me at abaghchehsara@asme.org and I will be happy to reward you somehow in some ways, in case you help this book becomes a better version of it.

    The book is short but provides with a wide range of entry level knowledge related to aerospace engineering. It covers topics ranging from propulsion, satellite components, launchers, satellite orientation & control and spacecrafts telecommunication. It also has a chapter on career in aerospace, very useful for students, by the way.

    On top of that, the foreword of the book was written by a NASA astronaut.

    I really recommend it.

    Amazing quality but extremely poor editing. The amount of grammatical errors was disappointing and distracting. Anyone who reads this will find a plethora of errors and clearly pretentious in choice of some words that would make you assume they went to thesaurus.com and chose verb tenses that are not commonly used. Other than that great quality book just get someone to edit those mistakes for a reprint.

    Overall, the book was helpful and interesting to read for someone looking to get into aerospace engineering. However, from a professional viewpoint it was hard to read and there were many typos that should have not made it through proofreading and publication. The author uses too many hypotheticals and informal writing which actually makes some of the material hard to follow and read.

    3.0 out of 5 stars Basic introduction to Aerospace, introduction to concepts but too basic for engineering students.
    Reviewed in Spain on July 30, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    This is a pretty basic book useful for the non-technical curious, written by someone who does not seem to be a specialist in the area. It is too basic for engineering students and contains some explanations which are dangerous for the engineering student for being oversimplified. I already found some errors such as confusing density (rho) with pressure (p) and showing some images that are not physically accurate. The frontpage already hints at it: a spaceship with what seems to be a gas turbine, which would not work in the vacuum of space...
    But it might be useful for the non-technical curious, just not engineering study.
