PDF-(EBOOK)-The Airplane: A History of Its Technology (Library of Flight)

This new book was commissioned in celebration of the 100th Anniversary of Powered Flight It is written by one of the most respected authors in the aerospace world John D Anderson Jr is curator for aerodynamics at the National Air and Space Museum Professor Emeritus Department of Aerospace Engineering University of Maryland and the author of several worldrenowned textbooks Contrary to popular belief the Wright brothers did not invent the airplane rather they invented the first successful airplane The concept of the airplane was invented a hundred years earlier and the Wrights inherited a centurys worth of prior aeronautical research and development The Wrights did not work in a vacuum they admitted that they worked on the shoulders of giants Indeed if Orville and Wilbur had not entered the field of aeronautics and their momentous flight on 17 December 1903 had not taken place the first successful airplane would have been invented by someone else within the decade The time was right The Wrights were the right people at the right time Just what aeronautical technology did the Wrights inherit from their predecessors How much was right How much was wrong Who were the major players in the development of this technology and why This book will answer those questions It is a history of the technology of the airplane written with the nontechnical reader in mind but telling a story that the technical reader can also enjoy This history begins centuries before the Wright brothers and takes us to the present day Technical and nontechnical readers alike will find this book fascinating reading. .

Presenting a detailed insight into the fascinating world of space, this comprehensive handbook describes the processes and methodologies behind the development, construction, operation, and utilization of space systems. An international community of specialists reinvented the propeller during the Aeronautical Revolution, a vibrant period of innovation in North America and Europe from World War I to the end of World War II. They experienced both success and failure as they created competing designs that enabled increasingly sophisticated and \'modern\' commercial and military aircraft to climb quicker and cruise faster using less power. Reinventing the Propeller nimbly moves from the minds of these inventors to their drawing boards, workshops, research and development facilities, and factories, and then shows us how their work performed in the air, both commercially and militarily. Reinventing the Propeller documents this story of a forgotten technology to reveal new perspectives on engineering, research and development, design, and the multi-layered social, cultural, financial, commercial, industrial, and military infrastructure of aviation. Eleven Seconds into the Unknown: A History of the Hyper-X Program is a sequel to the authors first book on the X-43A/Hyper-X project, Road to Mach 10: Lessons Learned from the X-43A Flight Research Program. This joint publication between the National Air and Space Museum and the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics chronicles the evolution of the small gas turbine engine via a comprehensive study of a major aerospace industry. Drawing on in-depth interviews with pioneers, current project engineers and company managers, engineering papers published by the manufacturers, and the tremendous document and artifact collections at the National Air and Space Museum, the book captures and memorializes small engine development from its earliest stage.
