La segunda mitad del siglo XVIII significó una auténtica Edad de Oro en la historia de Escocia. Los ideales humanistas y racionalistas de la Ilustración francesa prendieron con extraordinaria fuerza en la Ilustración escocesa, que, imbuida de optimismo en el ser humano y en su capacidad de mejora, se orientó a la aplicación práctica de las ideas y al progreso social. Escocia se colocaba así a la cabeza de Europa, convertida en uno de los más destacados focos comerciales, económicos y culturales del continente. En este fenómeno, desarrollado fundamentalmente en las ciudades de Glasgow y Edimburgo, resultó determinante la contribución de los ingenieros escoceses. Sus numerosos inventos e innovaciones en todos los campos de la actividad humana, entre los que se cuenta la máquina de vapor de James Watt, propiciaron el nacimiento de la Revolución industrial, y con ella, la radical transformación socioeconómica y tecnológica de las sociedades modernas. El prestigioso escritor y periodista británico David Boyle recrea con ameno estilo e infinidad de detalles este trascendental capítulo de la historia del pueblo escocés, haciendo desfilar a sus principales pensadores, descubridores, científicos e inventores, y detallando las pioneras propuestas técnicas de sus más brillantes ingenieros a lo largo de los tres últimos siglos. Una obra de gran interés histórico, que permite conocer el papel protagonista desempeñado por Escocia y su innovadora ingeniería en la evolución de Europa y del mundo. La obra incluye un extraordinario repertorio de ilustraciones, fotografías y mapas que permiten al lector recrear un vivaz fresco de época.

The National Book League was a precursor to the current Booktrust, and was set up in 1924 by the Society of Bookmen in order to promote reading, particularly among the young. To that end, the NBL issued Reader's Guides on a variety of subjects, each written by an author with expertise in that field and containing an annotated bibliography of recommended titles on the subject. Charles Gibbs-Smith was the leading historian of aviation in the 1960s and 1970s, and published several books on the history of flight in Europe and America. This Reader's Guide, first published in 1957, has a detailed bibliography on the histories of a variety of aircraft, as well as a section on aerial battles from World War One onwards.

Presents a Compound Control Methodology for Flight VehiclesIncludes overview chapters to flight control, sliding mode control (SMC), active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and compound controlWritten by leading experts in the fieldCompound Control Methodology for Flight Vehicles focuses on new control methods for flight vehicles. In this monograph the concept of compound control is introduced. It is demonstrated that both Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) have their own advantages and limitations, i.e., chattering of SMC and the observability of extended state observer (ESO), respectively. It is shown that compound control combines their advantages and improves the performance of the closed-loop systems. The book is self-contained, providing sufficient mathematical foundations for understanding the contents of each chapter. It will be of significant interest to scientists and engineers engaged in the field of flight vehicle control.

"Compressibility, Turbulence and High Speed Flow" introduces the reader to the field of compressible turbulence and compressible turbulent flows across a broad speed range, through a unique complimentary treatment of both the theoretical foundations and the measurement and analysis tools currently used. The book provides the reader with the necessary background and current trends in the theoretical and experimental aspects of compressible turbulent flows and compressible turbulence. Detailed derivations of the pertinent equations describing the motion of such turbulent flows is provided and an extensive discussion of the various approaches used in predicting both free shear and wall bounded flows is presented. Experimental measurement techniques common to the compressible flow regime are introduced with particular emphasis on the unique challenges presented by high speed flows. Both experimental and numerical simulation work is supplied throughout to provide the reader with an overall perspective of current trends. It features an introduction to current techniques in compressible turbulent flow analysis; an approach that enables engineers to identify and solve complex compressible flow challenges; prediction methodologies, including the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) method, scale filtered methods and direct numerical simulation (DNS); and current strategies focusing on compressible flow control.

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: 1,3, University of Applied Sciences Wildau (WIT Wildau Institute of Technology), course: Aviation Management, language: English, comment: Bewertung: Die eingereichte Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit der sehr komplexen Thematik der europaischen Luftfahrtgesetzgebung und der sich daraus ergebenden Verpflichtungen fur die Teilnehmer am Luftverkehr. Es wurden die zum gegenwartigen Zeitpunkt verfugbaren Unterlagen gepruft und bewertet, um daraus eine Handlungsempfehlung zu entwickeln um ein technisches System auch fur den Einsatz genehmigt zu bekommen. Die Arbeit lasst berufliche Erfahrung und eine vertiefte Fachkenntnis erkennen, die weit uber das innerhalb des Masterkurs vermittelte Wissen hinaus geht. Insgesamt eine sehr gute Arbeit., abstract: With the amendment of the European Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 by the new Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 (into force since 14 December 2009), the area of competency of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) is progressively extended towards a "total system approach" including ATM, ANS as well as airport safety and interoperability. This new regulation allows airport operators to continue with providing apron management service - but they have to "declare their capability" for offering this service within the certification process of the aerodrome. An advanced surface movement guidance and control system is one important tool for providing this service at large and complex airports. With the implementation of an advanced surface movement guidance and control system (A-SMGCS), the airport contributes to the precise surface guidance of aircraft to and from a runway while maintaining safe distance to each other as well as to obstacles and vehicles. The system is aimed to assist the ground controllers in managing the traffic situation on the movement area in all weather conditions.

A rotorcraft is a class of aircraft that uses large-diameter rotating wings to accomplish efficient vertical take-off and landing. The class encompasses helicopters of numerous configurations (single main rotor and tail rotor, tandem rotors, coaxial rotors), tilting proprotor aircraft, compound helicopters, and many other innovative configuration concepts. Aeromechanics covers much of what the rotorcraft engineer needs: performance, loads, vibration, stability, flight dynamics, and noise. These topics include many of the key performance attributes and the often-encountered problems in rotorcraft designs. This comprehensive book presents, in depth, what engineers need to know about modelling rotorcraft aeromechanics. The focus is on analysis, and calculated results are presented to illustrate analysis characteristics and rotor behaviour. The first third of the book is an introduction to rotorcraft aerodynamics, blade motion, and performance. The remainder of the book covers advanced topics in rotary wing aerodynamics and dynamics.

This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers interested in the aerodynamics, structural dynamics and flight dynamics of small birds, bats and insects, as well as of micro air vehicles (MAVs), which present some of the richest problems intersecting science and engineering. The agility and spectacular flight performance of natural flyers, thanks to their flexible, deformable wing structures, as well as to outstanding wing, tail and body coordination, is particularly significant. To design and build MAVs with performance comparable to natural flyers, it is essential that natural flyers' combined flexible structural dynamics and aerodynamics are adequately understood. The primary focus of this book is to address the recent developments in flapping wing aerodynamics. This book extends the work presented in Aerodynamics of Low Reynolds Number Flyers (Shyy et al. 2008).

Los resultados contenidos en esta obra son producto del acuerdo específico firmado en 2008 entre la Agencia Andaluza del Agua (organismo autónomo de la Junta de Andalucía ya desaparecido cuyas competencias residen en actualidad en la Consejeria de Medio Ambiente y Ordenacion del Territorio) y la Universidad de Sevilla, para el desarrollo y la puesta en marcha de la Red de Miradores del Agua de Andalucia. Este convenio tenia como objetivo aproximar a los ciudadanos la politica de aguas y los valores de este recurso aprovechando, precisamente, los elementos mas señeros del patrimonio hidraulico con que nos hemos dotado: las grandes presas. Por su tamaño, numero, afecciones territoriales y medioambientales las grandes presas constituyen el legado mas llamativo de la obra hidraulica en nuestro paisdurante la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Suponen un corolario de los avances del conocimiento y la tecnica para satisfacer las necesidades crecientes de agua de la Humanidad superando las limitaciones impuestas por la Naturaleza. Bajo una perspectiva historica se puede afirmar que las presas son la manifestacion del sentir de una sociedad en un momento concreto de su historia. Son hijas de su tiempo. Pero las ideas y percepciones evolucionan para enriquecerse con significados y puntos de vista novedosos que no eran considerados en los momentos de construccion de estas infraestructuras. Este trabajo divulgativo de las grandes presas de Andalucia supone una aportacion original, pues, junto a los aspectos tecnicos generales al uso tambien incorpora cuestiones territoriales, de medio ambiente, culturales, de paisaje, educativas o recreativas. Aporta una vision mas integradora de la realidad multifuncional del patrimonio hidraulico de que nos hemos dotado y que, al margen de la finalidad principal de garantizar el suministro, puede ofrecer otras utilidades complementarias de interes reflejo de las multiples perspectivas que ofrece el agua.
