Hi there,

I would recommend checking out "Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective" by Stephen Corda. It covers the basics of aerospace engineering and also includes information on the role of computer science and programming in the field.

Another great resource is "Aerospace Software Engineering: A Collection of Concepts" by Roy George. It delves into the specific programming languages and techniques used in aerospace software development.

For a more general overview of computer science in aerospace, I would suggest browsing through the website of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). They have a section dedicated to computer systems and software in aerospace.

I hope these suggestions help and good luck with your research!
