Discussions during the courses with academics and students have broadened my knowledge considerably. In particular I would like to mention the Universities of Manchester, Loughborough, Cranfield, Bristol, the West of England, and Lancaster for their MSc and short courses attended by students and engineers from industry.
At Cranfield special thanks must go to Dr Craig Lawson, Dr Huamin Jia, and Professor Shijun Guo for inviting me to participate in their MSc modules in air vehicle design and short courses in aircraft systems design. Their international students have been most attentive and have made significant contributions to my knowledge. Dr Craig Lawson has also contributed an important section in Chapter 12 on the estimation of fuel penalties as part of the trade‐off process and has provided me with much information and ...
