“The entire manuscript presents in detail the impact of FOD in aviation. Specifically, in the first two chapters, an analytical impact of various types of FOD (debris and damage) is integrated with a massive number of real word accidents and incidents. This novel approach should be in the library of any Aerospace Engineering institution, as well as any aircraft maintenance and design engineer. I would definitely recommend this novel handbook to all related readers.” - Bill Xezonakis, University of East London
