This book focuses on different facets of flight data analysis, including the basic goals, methods, and implementation techniques. As mass flight data possesses the typical characteristics of time series, the time series analysis methods and their application for flight data have been illustrated from several aspects, such as data filtering, data extension, feature optimization, similarity search, trend monitoring, fault diagnosis, and parameter prediction, etc. An intelligent information-processing platform for flight data has been established to assist in aircraft condition monitoring, training evaluation and scientific maintenance. The book will serve as a reference resource for people working in aviation management and maintenance, as well as researchers and engineers in the fields of data analysis and data mining.

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.

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.
