In the case studies treated in this book, we show step-by-step examples of the physical arguments and the resulting calculations obtained using the quick-fire method. We also demonstrate the estimation improvements that can be obtained through the use of more detailed physics-based Back-of-the-Envelope engineering models. These different methods are used to obtain the solutions to a number of design and performance estimation problems arising from two of the most complex real-world engineering projects: the Space Shuttle and the Hubble Space Telescope satellite.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45277593895063,"sku":"9783642438714","price":9447.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783642438714.webp?v=1769288753","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/aerospace-engineering-on-the-back-of-an-envelope-9783642438714","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
