SAE Dictionary of Aerospace Engineering

The SAE Dictionary of Aerospace Engineering is a technical publication edited for the aerospace engineers who design, test, and manufacture aerospace vehicles, components, and parts. Every term and definition has been extensively reviewed by experts, and will be continuously reviewed in the future to incorporate changes as they occur. This completely new dictionary is, remarkably, the first such dictionary created for engineers who must communicate clearly and accurately in an increasingly more complex technology. This volume has the quality and comprehensiveness that aerospace engineers have come to expect from SAE publications. The engineering terms and definitions are compiled from the following sources: 5,188 terms from SAE Aerospace Standards and Reports: peer reviewed information from these technical publications 4,038 terms from the NASA Thesaurus: a publication reviewed and updated repeatedly since the 1970s 9,541 general engineering and computer terms from Engineering Resources, Inc: a leading developer of engineering terms and definitions that are germane to all engineering disciplines. In sum, here are nearly 20,00 terms and definitions contained in the first dictionary for aerospace experts who actually design and build aircraft and their related components rather than the aerospace 'buff'. Obviously, aerospace engineers and those technicians and clerical people who support them, will have a primary interest in the new dictionary. Aerospace engineering students and writers will also welcome this first technical dictionary in aerospace technology.
