Book reviews are a unique element of The Aeronautical Journal and serves to give the reader increased access to the world of academic research via the review of books within a wide-range of topics and disciplines researched within the broad field of Aeronautical Engineering, none of our competitors offer such a service. Full-length reviews of recent publications and technical textbooks on subjects as diverse as aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, fluid mechanics, CFD, materials, structures, composites, navigation, avionics, satellites, rockets, simulation, propulsion, ATM, smart aircraft, orbital dynamics and more are published in The Aeronautical Journal.
Both new books and book reviewers are always welcome. Among issues addressed in a book review may include; the book's intention, how the book is structured, its subject coverage (what areas are incorporated/excluded) and the book's strengths and weaknesses. The suggested word-length of around 300 words for the review is only a guideline; often reviewers go beyond this word-length if they feel that more needs to be said about a particular work due to its importance or failings.
