A memoir of a period at the aviation college, Embry Riddle, when its main campus was in Miami, Florida. It was at a time when airlines were replacing the slower propliners with jetliners and a disturbing number of airliners were crashing. Learn what even airliner design engineers did not know at the time. An attempt is made to render the technical info understandable to the tech neophyte.

The articles in this volume present the state-of-the-art in noise prediction, modeling and measurement. The articles are partially based on class notes provided during the course 'Noise sources in turbulent shear flows', given at CISM on April 2011. The first part contains general concepts of aero acoustics, including vortex sound theory and acoustic analogies, in the second part particular emphasis is put into arguments of interest for engineers and relevant for aircraft design: jet noise, airfoil broadband noise, boundary layer noise (including interior noise and its control) and the concept of noise sources, their theoretical modeling and identification in turbulent lows. All these arguments are treated extensively with the inclusion of many practical examples and references to engineering applications.

Based on more than 10 years of teaching intermediate dynamics at the Air Force Institute of Technology, this book is suitable as a text for a graduate-level or advanced undergraduate-level course in 3-dimensional dynamics, or as a reference. The methods and techniques presented have been tested in the classroom, and have facilitated several research projects undertaken by the author. The basics of vector mathematics in three-dimensional space is introduced in the first chapter, and is facilitated by a vector notation that encourages a thorough understanding of kinematic and dynamic variables. Subsequent chapters cover particle kinematics, particle dynamics, rigid body kinematics, and rigid body dynamics using the framework of Newtonian mechanics. Energy and variational approaches, including Hamilton's Law of Varying Action, Hamilton's Principle, and Lagrange's Equation are introduced in Chapter 6. Each chapter includes solved problems, which demonstrate the concepts covered in the chapter, as well as additional problems that may be used as practice

Advanced Airship Technologies and Design Approaches identifies and outlines important airship design and practicability considerations and suggests a better design approach that will result in more successful development programs and lead to airships that are in synch with 21st century aviation practices and advanced military-commercial operating utility needs. Airships were very successful flying vehicles until the later 1930s when the rise of wing-borne aircraft gradually led to their demise. They continued in limited use until the 1960s as long-endurance naval patrol craft until they too were superseded by aircraft. A key advantage of the airship is that, once in flight, it requires dramatically less fuel than a conventional aircraft. In an age of rising fuel costs, the need for economical heavy lift transportation as well as specialized intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms is an opportune time to look again at lighter-than-air vehicle technology. An airship revival has proven difficult due to failed or canceled airship programs-proving corrosive to the perceived viability of the technology. The airship often struggles to be taken seriously, scoffed at as being ''just a blimp." If the present revival of interest in airships is to avoid a new generation of failures, or an inability to achieve promised results, it is essential to introduce an era of more prudent airship design, clear vision, and better management. Advanced Airship Technologies and Design Approaches offers a path forward. It is a must-read for all those with an interest in a successful future for airships.

En la ingeniería civil, las estructuras o sistemas estructurales se pueden considerar como la parte formada por columnas, trabes, muros, losas, armaduras y otros elementos que proporcionan resistencia y rigidez a un edificio, un puente o alguna otra construccion. Este libro se enfoca en el estudio dinamico de estas estructuras como un medio para entender el movimiento de las construcciones y otros sistemas.

This is a restructured mathematical approach that confirms the equalization of propellant impingement with the mix ratio while having an axial flow of zero using a new factor labeled the velocity rat

Current developments in the field of air navigation services have been comprehensively described in this well-structured book. The division of air navigation services entered a new era of performance scheme that aims to meet requisite targets in four fundamental performance areas of safety, capacity, eco-friendliness and cost-efficiency. While it is highly expected that the targets are completely achieved, it is not recommended how; this being characteristic of performance based and goal oriented regulations. These key performance regions are interconnected by proportional and inversely proportional interrelations. For instance; if one aspires to expand sector capacity using the existing human resources (constant staff costs) but does not invest in technology (constant support cost) to accomplish higher cost-efficiency of service provision, the consequent overloaded system might unlock the Pandora's box of underlying safety issues. Since there is no scope of failure, we - the common, migrating and traveling public, airspace users, airport operators, air navigation services providers and the economy - will only benefit from this system; achieving goals of performance scheme in the process. However, the fundamental question which remains unanswered is "What is the winning strategy?" This book provides an understanding of noteworthy oddities of the elements of new business models of air navigation services provision as advancement of the latter became vital.

The book describes the basic concepts of spaceflight operations, for both, human and unmanned missions. The basic subsystems of a space vehicle are explained in dedicated chapters, the relationship of spacecraft design and the very unique space environment are laid out. Flight dynamics are taught as well as ground segment requirements. Mission operations are divided into preparation including management aspects, execution and planning. Deep space missions and space robotic operations are included as special cases. The book is based on a course held at the German Space Operation Center (GSOC).

Los dos valores fundamentales de este libro residen en su capacidad de sistematización de todos los temas vinculados al diseño e instalación para la electrificación a nivel del hogar. De un lado, esta capacidad le permitirá al profano una cultura eléctrica operativa y, al iniciado, un útil manual al margen de conocimientos específicos de mayor profundidad en cada uno de los temas. En primer lugar, el autor recoge los principios básicos de la electricidad y su suministro, así como sus procedimientos de distribución. En segundo lugar, se centra en estudios sobre iluminación y aplicaciones domésticas en el hogar moderno, incluyendo el área de las telecomunicaciones. Finalmente, se atiende a los aspectos vinculados a la seguridad.
