When I was an Aerospace Executive responsible for overseas sales to
Iran and Israel, I had to do a lot of overseas travel by airliner
so I wanted to write this book, to learn how airline travel has
improved since the mid 1980s. Later the vice-president to whom I
reported offered me the Israeli business if I was willing to form
my own company. I eagerly accept his offer and established a
company specializing in designing Guidance and Control Systems for
Military Aircraft, which was basically funded by the profits from
the Israeli business. One of the consulting contracts of my company
was to spend several months in Taiwan, designing a new guidance and
control system for their new Ultra Fighter Aircraft to help defend
them against their enemies at that time. ch less expensive than
conventional (old-fashioned) At the Autonetics Division of Rockwell
I was Chief Engineer responsible for the F111 Avionics system built
by General Dynamics - Fort Worth with Avionics supplied by
Autonetics. This avionic system included a fly-by wire system with
duplicate Airborne Computers to perform all the computations
required by the Avionics systems, including the first GPS installed
on a military aircraft. A second reason I wanted to write this book
is that I learned that the Dreamliner has some of the features
first used on the F111 for which I designed the Guidance and
Control. This book includes a description of the similar features
used by the Dreamliner. I realize that the advent of Nanotechnology
used in the Dreamliner electronics, makes it quite different than
the electronics of the F111 time period. For example, GPS
navigation is included as a function on handheld smartphones in the
nanotechnology era rather a PC computer sized box used on the F111.
Another important factor is cost: nanotechnology electronics are
muelectronics.
