Designing, building and flying modern fighter combat aircraft has become an incredibly complex business, pushed ever onward by leading-edge technology. Anthony Thornborough examines the whole spectrum of modern fighter missions and the systems that fly them, the physiology and psychology required of the modern fighter pilot and the varied weapons and avionics systems at his disposal. He explains how these myriad technologies work in harmony to make the fighter aircraft what it is - a high-performance, prestigious tool at the forefront of military development.
Every aspect of modern fighter aviation is aired in this book, opening and closing with a broad perspective of recent past and future developments which are reshaping the aircraft at a dramatic pace. In between, the reader embarks on an adventure which begins with mission preparation and take-off, and runs through aerial refuelling, defence suppression, air combat, attack and reconnaissance taskings, and closing with the return to base.
Many of the topics described are of equal value to professional aviators, engineers and analysts as well as the enthusiast.
