Description: You are bidding on a high-quality modern reprint of the Air Training Command manual "Guided Missiles Fundamentals", AFT Manual 52-12, August 1955, 600 pages. This was a required first course in pilotless aircraft for cadets wishing to specialize as, for instance, guidance system mechanic or control systems mechanic. It covers at a basic level (no calculus) all aspects of automated flight. This is a marvelous summary of cold-war era thinking on what we now call "cruise missiles". These were inspired by the German V-1 pulsejet missiles that fell on London by the thousands. Missiles described here were greatly advanced over WWII versions in propulsion, guidance and flight control. Chapters include the following: 1. The Story of Pilotless Aircraft 2. Aerodynamics of Pilotless Aircraft 3. Propulsion of Pilotless Aircraft 4. Physics involved in Pilotless Aircraft 5. Components of Pilotless Aircraft Control Systems 6. Components of Pilotless Aircraft Guidance Systems 7. Pilotless Aircraft Control Systems 8. Trajectory Considerations of Pilotless Aircraft 9. Pilotless Aircraft Guidance Systems 10. Pilotless Aircraft Tactics 11. Pilotless Aircraft Instrumentation 12. Facilities and Ranges for Flight Testing Pilotless Aircraft Buyer to pay actual shipping charges via USPS Media Mail, USPS First Class mail for foreign.
