About the Book

Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems surveys the fundamentals of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) operations, from sensors, controls, and automation to regulations, safety procedures, and human factors. It is designed for the student or layperson and thus assumes no prior knowledge of UASs, engineering, or aeronautics. Dynamic and well-illustrated, the first edition of this popular primer was created in response to a need for a suitable university-level textbook on the subject. Fully updated and significantly expanded, this new Second Edition: Reflects the proliferation of technological capability, miniaturization, and demand for aerial intelligence in a post-9/11 world Presents the latest major commercial uses of UASs and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) Enhances its coverage with greater depth and support for more advanced coursework Provides material appropriate for introductory UAS coursework in both aviation and aerospace engineering programs Introduction to Unmanned Aircraft Systems, Second Edition capitalizes on the expertise of contributing authors to instill a practical, up-to-date understanding of what it takes to safely operate UASs in the National Airspace System (NAS). Complete with end-of-chapter discussion questions, this book makes an ideal textbook for a first course in UAS operations.

He is a certified flight instructor with gold seal and a member of the International Society of Air Safety Investigators. He has attended the NTSB Academy, developed several risk assessment tools for Kansas State Polytechnic and other aviation organizations, and worked with unmanned aerial systems including the Predator and Aerosonde. Michael Thomas Most, Ph.D., is the academic lead of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Program at Kansas State Polytechnic. Previously, Dr. Most was an associate professor and chair of the Department of Aviation Technologies at Southern Illinois University. He has authored numerous articles for technical and refereed journals on aviation, aircraft design, and the use of GIS to investigate aviation-related environmental externalities, and delivered several peer-reviewed papers on these same topics. He holds FAA private pilot and A&P technician certificates, as well as ASTM National Center for Aerospace and Transportation Technologies avionics certification.

Review :
"I was very pleasantly surprised to see how carefully and thoughtfully this edition has updated the subject matter. ... I like the addition of new and challenging topics, particularly 'UAS Airframe and Powerplant Design' and 'Policy and Public Perception.' ... I would choose this second edition for my next class. ... [This edition offers] a much-needed and updated compendium of the unmanned aircraft world. [It is] a must read for someone who wants to get beyond the marketing and headlines and understand the promise, problems, and future for unmanned aircraft systems." —Harry Kieling, Adjunct Professor, University of Alaska Anchorage, USA
