On July 25, 2010, Arnold Ebneter flew across the country in a plane he designed and built himself, setting an aviation world record for aircraft of its class. He was eighty-two at the time and the flight represented the culmination of a dream hed cultivated since his childhood in the 1930s.Eileen Bjorkman herself a pilot and aeronautical engineer frames her fathers journey from teenage airplane enthusiast to Air Force pilot and Boeing engineer in the context of the rise, near extermination, and ongoing interest in homebuilt aircraft in the United States. She gives us a glimpse into life growing up in a flying family with two pilots for parents, a family plane named Charlie, and quite literally, a propeller under her parents bed.From early airplane designs serialized in magazines to the annual Oshkosh Fly-in where you can see experimental aircraft on display, Bjorkman offers a personal take on the history of building something in your garage that you can actually (and legally) fly as well as how the homebuilt aircraft movement has contributed to aviation and innovation in America.

Written by an internationally recognized teacher and researcher, this book provides a thorough, modern treatment of the aerodynamic principles of helicopters and other rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft such as tilt rotors and autogiros. The text begins with a unique technical history of helicopter flight, and then covers basic methods of rotor aerodynamic analysis, and related issues associated with the performance of the helicopter and its aerodynamic design. It goes on to cover more advanced topics in helicopter aerodynamics, including airfoil flows, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, and rotor wakes, and rotor-airframe aerodynamic interactions, with final chapters on autogiros and advanced methods of helicopter aerodynamic analysis. Extensively illustrated throughout, each chapter includes a set of homework problems. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students, practising engineers, and researchers will welcome this thoroughly revised and updated text on rotating-wing aerodynamics.

Comprehensive textbook which introduces the fundamentals of aerospace engineering with a flight test perspective Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is an introductory level text in aerospace engineering with a unique flight test perspective. Flight test, where dreams of aircraft and space vehicles actually take to the sky, is the bottom line in the application of aerospace engineering theories and principles. Designing and flying the real machines are often the reasons that these theories and principles were developed. This book provides a solid foundation in many of the fundamentals of aerospace engineering, while illuminating many aspects of real-world flight. Fundamental aerospace engineering subjects that are covered include aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control. Key features: * Covers aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control. * Includes self-contained sections on ground and flight test techniques. * Includes worked example problems and homework problems. * Suitable for introductory courses on Aerospace Engineering. * Excellent resource for courses on flight testing. Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace engineering, as well as practitioners in industry. It is an exciting and illuminating read for the aviation enthusiast seeking deeper understanding of flying machines and flight test.

Aircraft Control Allocation Wayne Durham, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, USA Kenneth A. Bordignon, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, USA Roger Beck, Dynamic Concepts, Inc., USA  An authoritative work on aircraft control allocation by its pioneers  Aircraft Control Allocation addresses the problem of allocating supposed redundant flight controls. It provides introductory material on flight dynamics and control to provide the context, and then describes in detail the geometry of the problem. The book includes a large section on solution methods, including 'Banks' method', a previously unpublished procedure. Generalized inverses are also discussed at length. There is an introductory section on linear programming solutions, as well as an extensive and comprehensive appendix dedicated to linear programming formulations and solutions. Discrete-time, or frame-wise allocation, is presented, including rate-limiting, nonlinear data, and preferred solutions.  Key features: Written by pioneers in the field of control allocation. Comprehensive explanation and discussion of the major control allocation solution methods. Extensive treatment of linear programming solutions to control allocation. A companion web site contains the code of a MATLAB/Simulink flight simulation with modules that incorporate all of the major solution methods. Includes examples based on actual aircraft.   The book is a vital reference for researchers and practitioners working in aircraft control, as well as graduate students in aerospace engineering

La obra nos propone un recorrido por los hechos, con sus protagonistas, relacionados con la aparición y desarrollo de la ciencia aeronáutica en Sevilla desde finales del siglo XVIII y durante todo el XIX. Esta se manifesto en la experimentacion con globos aerostaticos, en su exhibicion como espectaculo publico y el intento de inventores y hombres de ciencia de mejorar una forma de vuelo nacida con limitaciones. En la capital andaluza se vieron aeronautas de fama mundial de uno y otro sexo, se desarrollaron experimentos cientificos e invenciones para la mejora de la navegacion aerea, y todo ante un publico heterodoxo, reyes de España incluidos, que manifesto reacciones de todo tipo.Las ascensiones en globo aerostatico fueron desde finales del siglo XVIII una forma de vuelo en la que cientificos, artistas y viajeros pudieron poner sus intereses a la altura de las aves, desarrollando experiencias y profesiones de muy distinto caracter. Los hombres, y no pocas mujeres, pioneros de la aerostacion, convirtieron la disciplina en la primera escuela practica de la aeronautica. Su vida transcurrio plena durante todo el siglo XIX, protagonizando interesantes capitulos de la vida cientifica y cultural europea y americana. España asimilo desde temprano la novedad del vuelo en globos y en Sevilla afamados pilotos como V...

Varias fueron las razones que llevaron al autor de este libro invertir más de cuatro años en la labor de investigación y recopilación de la cual es fruto esta obra. La intención original era la de proporcionar a todas aquellas personas interesadas por la Aviación una referencia sobre accidentes e incidentes aéreos de aviones militares españoles pertenecientes a la Base Aérea de Gando, isla de Gran Canaria. A medida que avancé en esta labor, decidí incluir también los de aviones militares de otras bases aéreas españolas y extranjeras, así como los de Aviación Civil ocurridos en las Islas Canarias. El ámbito geográfico cambió también, para pasar a incluir los accidentes aéreos sufridos por tripulantes militares españoles en el extranjero y en el África Occidental. Sin embargo, fruto de este intenso trabajo, ha resultado una obra que permite el acceso al lector por primera vez de documentos militares sobre accidentes desconocidos en Canarias y el África Occidental. Con una gran proliferación de fotos, este libro es una herramienta básica para tener un mayor conocimiento de la aviación española, y en particular, en Canarias.

LA APORTACION DE MANUEL RIVERA A LA NAVEGACION AEREA

En el libro De las Cometas a los Drones se hace un recorrido por orden cronológico de los diferentes tipos de ingenios voladores construidos por el hombre. Sin entrar en detalles excesivamente técnicos, se relatan los aspectos mas relevantes del diseño, la construccion y las capacidades de cada aeronave. Se cuentan hechos acaecidos desde los principios de la aviacion hasta 2017, algunos de los cuales son experiencias vividas por el autor o relatadas por los protagonistas. Se incluyen numerosas fotografias que soportan las explicaciones del texto. Finalmente en el ultimo capitulo se comentan los inicios de las aeronaves manejadas por control remoto, UAVS, RPAS, conocidos vulgarmente como Drones, y sus ultimos logros, que seran a no dudar el futuro de las aeronaves.
