Autorenporträt

Professor Guy Gratton has worked for nearly 30 years in evaluating the safety of aircraft, with his work spanning every class of manned aeroplane from large airliners, via jet fighters to gliders and single-seat microlights. This has included the complete clearance of several new aircraft designs, as well as testing every major component of an aircraft. He has taught, and continues to teach, this subject at several UK universities as well as having managed several aeronautical research facilities. Professor Gratton is also an experienced pilot and flight test engineer, having flown over 100 aeroplane types, including test flying of a number of prototype and development aircraft.

Rezensionen

"The concise presentation of the sources and classes of internationally acceptable design requirements is a particularly useful service ... . all the topics are treated in a readable style, with illustrative examples and diagrams, complete with softer advice and diverting historic detail. ... whatever the airframe design issue may be, it is a very good place to start." (Howard Torode, Aerospace, December, 2016)

"Gratton summarizes the material skillfully, for both beginners and veterans alike. ... He introduces the material succinctly, and yet he paints a broad picture of the potential applications." (Mark Jones Jr., multiplyleadership.com, 2016)
