Synopsis

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

About this title

About the Author

Ali is an entrepreneur and corporate leader who has a deep understanding in Artificial Intelligence, and autonomous systems and has applied variety of solutions and new concepts in automotive, aerospace, cognitive science branches.

His efforts have been recognized by the Royal Aeronautical Society in (Achievement Award, London, 2014), and American Society of Mechanical Engineers (Outstanding Service Award, Montreal, 2015). 

He has started 3 companies, utilizing AI for Aerospace industry, but also started a venture capital to fund disruptive companies that generic VCs won't. He has designed the first Autonomous System for Distress Tracking in Airbus & commercial aircraft. In 2015 he influenced aerospace education with a book called "Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering (Beginners Guide)" - no math required which became best seller on Amazon in Dec 2020. 

With a bachelor of aerospace engineering and Masters in Aeronautics and Management, his PhD is in the field of Cognitive Avionic Systems. Presently he is building an automated system for replacing data scientists with robots.
