Latest work with IntechOpen by Melih Cemal Kuşhan

Aircraft Manufacturing, Safety and Control is a concise, practice-oriented guide to how modern aeroplanes are conceived, built, certified, and kept safe in service. Bridging design, production, and operations, the volume introduces core methods in manufacturing (metallic and composite processes, bonding and fastening, tolerance management, non-destructive inspection, digital manufacturing/Industry 4.0, producibility and cost), alongside safety and airworthiness thinking (regulatory compliance, reliability and risk assessment, damage tolerance, maintenance, human factors, continued airworthiness). It also connects these themes to flight and control systems, guidance, navigation and control, fly-by-wire, fault detection and isolation, health monitoring, and emerging autonomy, showing how control architecture, verification, and safety assurance inform manufacturing choices. With clear definitions, process insights, and worked examples, the book helps engineers and managers translate requirements into robust products and repeatable factory practices. Emphasis on sustainability (lightweight structures, energy-efficient processes, repairability) and on data-driven decision-making prepares readers for the next generation of aircraft programs. Written for students, practitioners, and leaders, this cross-disciplinary reference offers ready-to-apply concepts, checklists, and reasoning pathways that reduce risk, improve quality, and shorten time-to-market while strengthening safety from the first drawing to the last flight.
