We would like to thank Engineering Arresting System Corporation (ESCO) (Aston, PA), Division of Zodiac Aerospace and General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc., for providing pictures and diagrams and/or other information relating to their air vehicles and equipment.

The Joint UAV Program Office (Patuxent River Naval Air Station, MD) and the US Army Aviation and Missile Command (Huntsville, AL) both provided general information during the preparation of the first edition.

We especially thank Mr. Robert Veazey, who provided the original drafts of the material on launch and recovery while an employee of ESCO, and Mr. Tom Murley, formerly of Lear Astronics, and Mr. Bob Sherman for their critical reading of the draft and constructive suggestions.

Great appreciation goes to Mrs. Lauren Poplawski, Acquisitions Editor for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Wiley, who suggested the third author to prepare the Fifth Edition, and provided him with guidance through the preparation of the manuscript. We are also thankful for Kimberly Monroe‐Hill, Managing Editor and Gabby Robles, Associate Managing Editor, who provided some helpful information when the manuscript for this new edition was sculpted. The authors are also very grateful to Copy Editor Mrs. Patricia Bateson for her careful reading of the manuscript for the Fifth Edition and for many helpful suggestions related to style and grammar. People at Wiley were very patient with us throughout the process of working out the details of how that might be accomplished.
