Características y propiedadesdel radar y de la navegación aerea

La industria aeronáutica está cobrando una mayor importancia en nuestros días, a medida que los procesos técnicos van mejorando las capacidades aeroespaciales de las aeronaves. Este libro, aunque enfocado a estudiantes de la carrera de Ingeniería de Caminos, Canales y Puertos, también se dirige a cualquier interesado en el estudio de la ingeniería aeroportuaria. El objetivo de esta obra es triple: en primer lugar, pretende analizar a la industria aeronáutica en su conjunto, dando las claves de su organización y evolución en el tiempo, como al mercado aeronáutico, en especial al europeo: en segundo lugar, pretende estudiar la gestión y el sistema aeroportuarios en su conjunto y, por último, da explicación de los elementos fundamentales que forman parte de las aeronaves e intenta desarrollar de un modo general las técnicas constructivas e ingenieriles de las instalaciones aeroportuarias. Por lo tanto, en esta breve obra se incluyen aquellos conocimientos básicos necesarios tanto desde el punto de vista técnico como económico que ha de poseer todo ingeniero que se acerque al mundo aeroportuario. Dado el proceso liberalizador de la industria aeronáutica europea, es de esperar un fuerte crecimiento en la demanda de esta clase de conocimientos para un futuro próximo.

Como muy acertadamente describe su autor en la introducción, el objetivo de este libro es enseñarnos a diferenciar la gran variedad de aeronaves comerciales que hoy día surcan el espacio aéreo. Bien es verdad que existen en el mercado directorios y libros de gran rigor tecnico que especifican todas y cada una de las caracteristicas de los aviones, pero no es tan habitual encontrar un libro que nos muestre precisamente como diferenciar las aeronaves, aparentemente muy similares, teniendo en cuenta diversos aspectos como la forma de sus alas, de sus timones o de sus motores.Cada dia surgen mas aficionados a la aeronautica, aunque su profesion no este ligada a la misma. No hay mas que pensar en los grandes entusiastas de la fotografia de aeronaves, como son los spotters, que recorren muchos aeropuertos para realizar la foto mas inedita o curiosa de los aviones que operan en sus pistas o plataformas. Sin duda, a ellos y a otros muchos lectores amantes de esta ciencia, este libro de Alejandro Gonzalez les va a resultar atractivo, no solo por su calidad tecnica, sino por su estupendo material grafico y su tono divulgativo.Indice de la publicacion:1.

Alta tecnología y movilidad. Desde los inicios hasta hoy.

There is increasing interest in the potential of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and MAV (Micro Air Vehicle) technology and their wide ranging applications including defence missions, reconnaissance and surveillance, border patrol, disaster zone assessment and atmospheric research. High investment levels from the military sector globally is driving research and development and increasing the viability of autonomous platforms as replacements for the remotely piloted vehicles more commonly in use. UAV/UAS pose a number of new challenges, with the autonomy and in particular collision avoidance, detect and avoid, or sense and avoid, as the most challenging one, involving both regulatory and technical issues. Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications covers the problem of detect, sense and avoid in UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) in depth and combines the theoretical and application results by leading academics and researchers from industry and academia. Key features: Presents a holistic view of the sense and avoid problem in the wider application of autonomous systems Includes information on human factors, regulatory issues and navigation, control, aerodynamics and physics aspects of the sense and avoid problem in UAS Provides professional, scientific and reliable content that is easy to understand, and Includes contributions from leading engineers and researchers in the field Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications is an invaluable source of original and specialised information. It acts as a reference manual for practising engineers and advanced theoretical researchers and also forms a useful resource for younger engineers and postgraduate students. With its credible sources and thorough review process, Sense and Avoid in UAS: Research and Applications provides a reliable source of information in an area that is fast expanding but scarcely covered.

Fatigue of the pressurized fuselages of transport aircraft is a significant problem all builders and users of aircraft have to cope with for reasons associated with assuring a sufficient lifetime and safety, and formulating adequate inspection procedures. These aspects are all addressed in various formal protocols for creating and maintaining airworthiness, including damage tolerance considerations. In most transport aircraft, fatigue occurs in lap joints, sometimes leading to circumstances that threaten safety in critical ways. The problem of fatigue of lap joints has been considerably enlarged by the goal of extending aircraft lifetimes. Fatigue of riveted lap joints between aluminium alloy sheets, typical of the pressurized aircraft fuselage, is the major topic of the present book. The richly illustrated and well-structured chapters treat subjects such as: structural design solutions and loading conditions for fuselage skin joints; relevance of laboratory test results for simple lap joint specimens to riveted joints in a real structure; effect of various production and design related variables on the riveted joint fatigue behaviour; analytical and experimental results on load transmission in mechanically fastened lap joints; theoretical and experimental analysis of secondary bending and its implications for riveted joint fatigue performance; nucleation and shape development of fatigue cracks in riveted longitudinal lap joints; overview of experimental investigations into the multi-site damage for full scale fuselage panels and riveted lap joint specimens; fatigue crack growth and fatigue life prediction methodology for riveted lap joints; residual strength predictions for riveted lap joints in a fuselage structure. The major issues of each chapter are recapitulated in the last section.

This book embarks on a contemporary analysis of the interaction of economics and law relating to air transport, delving into the major issues that plague the industry. It shows how some of the thorny and frustrating issues could be approached sensibly. Among the issues discussed are the anomaly of exponential growth of air transport which makes airline profitability continue to be poor; the legislative impediments in most countries that preclude direct foreign investment in the industry; the confounding and muddled mess behind the economics of aircraft engine emissions; and the inexplicable reality that, although civil aviation is primarily meant to meet the needs of the people of the world, State regulators have upended the equation and given priority to national interests over the interests of the passenger. The book will be of interest to economists and lawyers alike who deal with air transport issues, and also to academics and students in the area of transportation as well as regulators and airlines.
