Industrial Aviation

Building on the author’s earlier Applied Simulation and Optimization, this book presents novel methods for solving problems in industry, based on hybrid simulation-optimization approaches that combine the advantages of both paradigms. The book serves as a comprehensive guide to tackling scheduling, routing problems, resource allocations and other issues in industrial environments, the service industry, production processes, or supply chains and aviation.

This book consists of selected peer-reviewed papers from the 2nd International Seminar on Aeronautics and Energy (ISAE 2022) focusing on the theme to revive the aviation industry post-COVID-19 pandemic. The topics discussed in this book include aircraft design and optimization, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and experimental aerodynamics, aircraft structure and aeroelasticity, guidance control and navigation, aircraft manufacturing and health monitoring avionics and system integration of UAV/drones, SITL AND HITL application on drones, rockets and missile, industrial wind engineering, green fuel and aviation sustainability, and aviation management. This book is a valuable resource for academicians and industry players in the field of aviation and sustainability.

The information infrastructure–-comprising computers, embedded devices, networks and software systems–-is vital to operations in every sector: chemicals, commercial facilities, communications, critical manufacturing, dams, defense industrial base, emergency services, energy, financial services, food and agriculture, government facilities, healthcare and public health, information technology, nuclear reactors, materials and waste, transportation systems, and water and wastewater systems. Global business and industry, governments, indeed society itself, cannot function if major components of the critical information infrastructure are degraded, disabled or destroyed.
