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, communication, 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 20 countries are developing and employing UAVs for both military and scientific purposes.

Характеризуя политику США и Англии, Сталин говорил, что "политика нынешних руководителей США и Англии есть политика агрессии, политика развязывания новой войны".
Книга Дж. Мариона содержит блестящее подтверждение этих выводов И.В. Сталина. "Факты, - пишет Марион, - собранные в этой книге, - главным образом из антирусских источников, - опровергают тезис об ответственности России за то, что до сих пор ещё не достигнуто состояние мира". На многочисленных фактах автор убедительно показывает, что ответственность за это несут США, которые "стремятся насильственно распространить своё военное господство на весь земной шар, провоцируя своей агрессивной экспансией десятки гражданских войн и волнения во всём мире".

The achievements of the United States during that war, often underrated by military historians, were in fact remarkable, and they turned the tide of the conflict. So says John S. D. Eisenhower, one of today's most acclaimed military historians, in his sweeping history of the Great War and the men who won it: the Yanks of the American Expeditionary Force.

The infantry was Wellington's favoured tool, and he played a major role in raising its standards of excellence. He used it carefully, on ground which he selected to give it maximum advantage and protection; and he came to understand its capabilities and weaknesses exactly. In this worthy addition to Opsrey's Men-at-Arms series, Bryan Fosten examines all aspects of Wellington's infantry, including army life, organisation, uniforms, drill, regimental distinctions, weapons and equipment, in an engaging text well-illustrated throughout including eight full page colour plates by the author himself.
