PDF-(EBOOK)-Flight: The Complete History

From the early pioneers to the latest spaceflight technology this groundbreaking book charts the inspirational story behind humankinds conquest of the skies In the 100 years since the Wright brothers first powered flight aviation has witnessed many memorable events From recordbreaking flights and aerial warfare to advances in aircraft design and the race for space Flight covers the most memorable moments in the history of aviation Describing the feats of the brave men and women who piloted the early flying machines to the pioneers of longdistance flight and the test pilots who ushered in the jet age Flight is a gripping narrative of humankinds quest to conquer the skies and explore space Loaded with spectacular fullcolor photographs dramatic firsthand accounts and factfilled profiles on a huge range of aircraft this is an enthralling account of a century of innovation and adventure.

At the heart of Carole A. Travis-Henikoff’s book is the question of how cannibalism began with the human species and how it has become an unspeakable taboo today. At a time when science is being battered by religions and failing teaching methods, Dinner with a Cannibal presents slices of multiple sciences in a readable, understandable form nested within a wealth of data. With history, paleoanthropology, science, gore, sex, murder, war, culinary tidbits, medical facts, and anthropology filling its pages, Dinner with a Cannibal presents both the light and dark side of the human story the story of how we came to be all the things we are today. “. . . a brilliant piece of scholarship . . . Mackowski’s book belongs in every space historian’s library. Seldom does one find in scholarly literature a book as easy and enjoyable to read as Testing the Limits.”—Air Power History “Maura Phillips Mackowski has filled a critically important gap in the literature of American aerospace history. . . . The author provides a compelling narrative overview of the development of aviation medicine in the United States. . . . Testing the Limits is an important and engrossing story, well told in very lively prose. Specialists and general readers alike will find it difficult to put down.”—The Journal of American History “...demonstrates outstanding scholarship in the exploration of the history of American military aviation medicine.”—Space Times 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 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 world-renowned 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 century\'s 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. Space exploration has fascinated us since the launch of the first primitive rockets more than 3,000 years ago, and it continues to fascinate us today. The data gathered from such exploration has been hugely instrumental in furthering our understanding of our universe and our world. In Space Flight: History, Technology, and Operations, author Lance K. Erickson offers a comprehensive look at the history of space exploration, the technology that makes it possible, and the continued efforts that promise to carry us into the future. Space Flight goes through the history of space exploration, from the earliest sub-orbital and orbital missions to today\'s deep-space probes, to provide a close look at past and present projects, then turns its attention to programs being planned today and to the significance of future exploration. Focusing on research data gleaned from these exploration programs, the book\'s historical perspective highlights the progression of our scientific understanding of both the smallest and largest entities in our universe, from subatomic particles, to distant stars, planets, and galaxies. Both the novice and the advanced student of space exploration stand to profit from the author\'s engaging and insightful discussion. At first glance, it looks like just another auditorium in just another government building. But among the talented men (and later women) who worked in mission control, the room located on the third floor of Building 30—at what is now Johnson Space Center—would become known by many as “The Cathedral.” These members of the space program were the brightest of their generations, making split-second decisions that determined the success or failure of a mission. The flight controllers, each supported by a staff of specialists, were the most visible part of the operation, running the missions, talking to the heavens, troubleshooting issues on board, and, ultimately, attempting to bring everyone safely back home. None of NASA’s storied accomplishments would have been possible without these people. Interviews with dozens of individuals who worked in the historic third-floor mission control room bring the compelling stories to life. Go, Flight! is a real-world reminder of where we have been and where we could go again given the right political and social climate. 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.
