Description

The Aircraft Designers: A Grumman Historical Perspective tells the at the back of-the-scenes story of the designers and engineers who conceived and built Grumman aircraft from the founding of the company in 1929 until its 1994 acquisition by Northrop. Even as Grumman aircraft have been up to now documented, The Aircraft Designers focuses as a substitute at the people, disciplines, processes, and anecdotes at the back of the creation of such past icons as the F6F Wildcat and TBF Avenger and up to date-day weapon systems like the F-14 Tomcat, E-2 Hawkeye, EA-6B Prowler, and Joint STARS. Michael Ciminera has identified key team members who contributed to the creation and development of every new design, creating an unparalleled historical record of the aeronautical achievements of the Grumman Corporation. He has also chronicled the evolution from the aircraft design of the past, which bore the earmark of the manager engineer/designer, to these days’s complex aircraft systems, which require a significant team effort involving such disciplines as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, systems analysis, software, simulation, testing, and a lot more.
