Review
"At many places Mr. Gunston goes quite far beyond the limits of a typical dictionary by giving in-depth explanations of physical processes (such as Bernoulli's theorem), devices and their operating principles (propeller pitch), or even of concepts related to management and business (request for proposals). This increases the book's value and applications, particularly if used in academic and educational institutions. The Cambridge Aerospace Dictionary is clearly written and well edited...The given definitions have been kept short enough for easy reading yet comprehensive enough to allow understanding without further tedious research. Mr. Gunston's long professional and practical aerospace experience has enabled him to cleverly adjust the depth of treatment according to the anticipated difficulties in understanding. I was really satisfied. This dictionary looks very suitable for engineering offices, project teams, and also for advanced classrooms..." IEEE AES Magazine
"The book is an excellent reference guide for writers uncertain as to how a word is written...All in all; it is an excellent book to have on the shelf rights besides Roget's International Thesaurus and the latest version of Webster." Rotor and Wing
"...a welcome appearance." Aviation News
"This nice, well-done dictionary would be at home in any large academic or public library." -- American Reference Book Annual
Product Description
This dictionary is an essential tool for people who must read and understand technical content regarding the aerospace industry and specific aircraft. An ideal reference for engineering and physics students, it is based on three previous editions of the popular Jane's Aerospace Dictionary by Bill Gunston, OBE, FraeS, one of the most widely read and respected aviation writers of all time. Gunston has added over 15,000 new terms as well as brief explanations of aerospace materials and organizations to this new edition. Terms used in the dictionary reflect the diverse and international nature of the aerospace industry. Bill Gunston is a renowned and prolific aerospace journalist. Currently an editor with Jane's Information Group, he has also served as a technical editor for Flight International and Science Journal and is the author of over 300 books. A former RAF pilot, Gunston's distinguished fifty-year professional career has led to appointments as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire and as a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society.
