This volume contains an investigation of remotely piloted research vehicle (RPRV) and unmanned aircraft system (UAS) mishaps and will examine their causes, consequences, resultant corrective actions, and lessons learned. Most undesired outcomes usually do not occur because of a single event, but rather from a series of events and actions involving equipment malfunctions and/or human factors. This book comprises a series of case studies focusing mostly on accidents and incidents involving experimental aircraft. The information provided should be of use to flight-test organizations, aircraft operators, educators, and students, among others. These lessons are not unique to the UAS environment and are also applicable to human aviation and space flight activities. Common elements include crew resource management, training, mission planning issues, management and programmatic pressures (e.g., schedule, budget, resources), cockpit/control station design, and other factors.

El interés por la aeronáutica del pueblo navarro quedó pronto de manifiesto cuando Pablo Rada y Julio Ruiz de Alda, vecinos de Caparroso y Estella respectivamente, participaron en la gran hazaña del hidroavion Plus Ultra en su travesia del Atlantico, desde Huelva a Buenos Aires, llevada a cabo en 1926.Pronto el Ayuntamiento de Pamplona materializo este interes con la construccion, alla por los años 30, de un aeropuerto, convencido de que su puesta en funcionamiento aportaria grandes beneficios sociales y economicos a la Comunidad Foral. Mas tarde la Diputacion apoyaria la creacion de las primeras lineas aereas comerciales que unirian Navarra con Madrid y Barcelona, situando al aeropuerto de Pamplona dentro de la red del transporte aereo comercial.La continua atencion a su mejora, con la introduccion de nuevos servicios y facilidades para pasajeros y compañias, ha hecho que un mayor numero de aerolineas se hayan ido ubicando en el aeropuerto pamplones, proporcionando nuevos destinos nacionales e internacionales.Pero nada de esto hubiera sido posible sin el esfuerzo y la profesionalidad de todos cuantos han formado parte de esta infraestructura aeronautica: desde los propios gestores, pasando por quienes se han ocupado de su mantenimiento, operatividad, etc., asi como los concesionarios que han ayudado a prestar cada dia un servicio de mayor calidad. Por ello este libro es una oportunidad para rendir un homenaje a todos ellos, y a la vez constituye una historia de crecimiento, superacion, plagada de anecdotas e imagenes que atraeran el interes de todos los navarros, ya que la historia del aeropuerto forma parte de la suya propia, y de todos aquellos que sientan alguna inclinacion por la aeronauticaIndice de la publicacion:1.

Pocas industrias se han visto en pocos años sometidas a tantos cambios y presiones como la del transporte aéreo. En apenas 100 años de vida esta actividad ha pasado a convertirse de un medio de transporte de minorias y de unos pocos aventureros a transformarse en un sector tecnologicamente puntero y que ha movido 2.350 millones de pasajeros en el pasado año.Dentro de este complejo sistema de transporte, las compañias aereas desempeñan un importante papel. Comenzaron a desarrollarse, al igual que los ferrocarriles, dentro del sector publico, pero hoy dia se han convertido la mayoria en empresas privadas que compiten entre si por la captacion de nuevos clientes y mercados y que generan miles de empleos tanto directos como indirectos.Agotada la primera edicion, Arturo de Benito, ingeniero aeronautico y periodista ha tenido a bien revisar y actualizar su contenido, y poner de nuevo a disposicion de los lectores esta obra que, a traves de un lenguaje ameno y divulgativo, nos introduce en la historia y desarrollo de estas empresas que luchan por alcanzar la rentabilidad y la satisfaccion del cliente en un mercado cada dia mas competitivo.

This book provides its reader with a good understanding of the stabilization of switched nonlinear systems (SNS), systems that are of practical use in diverse situations: design of fault-tolerant systems in space- and aircraft; traffic control; and heat propagation control of semiconductor power chips. The practical background is emphasized throughout the book; interesting practical examples frequently illustrate the theoretical results with aircraft and spacecraft given particular prominence. Stabilization of Switched Nonlinear Systems with Unstable Modes treats several different subclasses of SNS according to the characteristics of the individual system (time-varying and distributed parameters, for example), the state composition of individual modes and the degree and distribution of instability in its various modes. Achievement and maintenance of stability across the system as a whole is bolstered by trading off between individual modes which may be either stable or unstable or by exploiting areas of partial stability within all the unstable modes. The book can be used as a reference for academic research on switched systems or used by graduate students of control theory and engineering. Readers should have studied linear and nonlinear system theory and have some knowledge of switched and hybrid systems to get the most from this monograph.
