商品描述

This book provides fundamental principles, design procedures, and design tools for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with three sections focusing on vehicle design, autopilot design, and ground system design. The design of manned aircraft and the design of UAVs have some similarities and some differences. They include the design process, constraints (e.g., g-load, pressurization), and UAV main components (autopilot, ground station, communications system, sensors, and payload). A UAV designer must be aware of the latest UAV developments; current technologies; know lessons learned from past failures; and they should appreciate the breadth of UAV design options.

The contribution of unmanned aircraft continues to expand every day and over 67 countries are developing and employing UAVs for both military and civil/scientific purposes. A UAV system is much more than a reusable air vehicle or vehicles. UAVs are air vehicles, they fly like airplanes and operate in an airplane environment. They are designed like air vehicles; they have to meet critical air vehicle requirements. A designer needs to know how to integrate complex, multi-disciplinary systems, and to understand the environment, the requirements and the design challenges and this book is an excellent overview of the fundamentals from an engineering perspective.

This book is meant to meet the needs of newcomers into the world of UAVs. The materials are intended to provide enough information in each area and illustrate how they all play together to support the design of a complete UAV. Therefore, this book can be used both as a reference for engineers entering the field or as a supplementary text for a UAV design course to provide system-level context for each specialized topic.

The second edition is extensively revised. Some of the new terminologies, concepts, and specific unmanned aircraft systems are introduced. The revisions make the book clearer and easier to understand, and will add number of new subjects in areas that have become more prominent in the unmanned aviation world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書提供無人飛行器（UAV）的基本原則、設計程序和設計工具，分為三個部分，專注於飛行器設計、自動駕駛儀設計和地面系統設計。有人飛行器的設計與無人飛行器的設計有一些相似之處，也有一些不同之處，包括設計過程、限制條件（例如，g-負載、加壓）以及無人飛行器的主要組件（自動駕駛儀、地面站、通信系統、傳感器和有效載荷）。無人飛行器設計師必須了解最新的無人飛行器發展、當前技術，並從過去的失敗中汲取教訓；他們還應該欣賞無人飛行器設計選項的廣度。

無人飛行器的貢獻每天都在擴大，超過67個國家正在開發和使用無人飛行器，無論是軍事還是民用/科學目的。無人飛行器系統不僅僅是可重複使用的空中載具。無人飛行器是空中載具，它們像飛機一樣飛行並在飛機環境中運作。它們的設計類似於空中載具，必須滿足關鍵的空中載具要求。設計師需要知道如何整合複雜的多學科系統，並理解環境、需求和設計挑戰，而本書從工程的角度提供了基本概念的優秀概述。

本書旨在滿足新進者對無人飛行器世界的需求。這些材料旨在提供每個領域足夠的信息，並說明它們如何協同工作以支持完整無人飛行器的設計。因此，本書既可以作為進入該領域的工程師的參考，也可以作為無人飛行器設計課程的補充教材，以提供每個專業主題的系統級背景。

第二版經過廣泛修訂。引入了一些新的術語、概念和特定的無人飛行器系統。這些修訂使本書更加清晰易懂，並將增加一些在無人航空領域變得更加突出的新主題。
