Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Selected by Choice Magazine as an Outstanding Academic Title for 2003 The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics—forerunner of today's NASA—emerged in 1915, when airplanes were curiosities made of wood and canvas and held together with yards of baling wire. At the time an unusual example of government intrusion (and foresight, given the importance of aviation to national military concerns), the committee oversaw the development of wind tunnels, metal fabrication, propeller design, and powerful new high-speed aircraft during the 1920s and '30s. In this richly illustrated account, acclaimed historian of aviation Roger E. Bilstein combines the story of NACA and NASA to provide a fresh look at the agencies, the problems they faced, and the hard work as well as inventive genius of the men and women who found the solutions. NACA research during World War II led to critical advances in U.S. fighter and bomber design and, Bilstein explains, contributed to engineering standards for helicopters. After 1945 the agency's test pilots experimented with jet-powered aircraft, testing both human and technical limits in trying to break the so-called "sound barrier." In October 1958, when the launch of the Soviet Sputnik signaled the beginning of the space race, NACA formed the nucleus of the new National Aeronautics and Space Agency. The new agency's efforts to meet President Kennedy's challenge—safely landing a man on the Moon and returning him to Earth before the end of the 1960s—is one of the great adventure stories of all time. Bilstein goes on to describe NASA's recent planetary and extraplanetary exploration, as well as its less well-known research into the future of aeronautical design.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'A History of Aeronautics' by W. Lockwood Marsh and Evelyn Charles Vivian is a comprehensive compilation of the development and evolution of aerostation and flight from the period of legends to the end of World War I. The book includes stories of the Wright Brothers and Santos Dumont in their own words, and provides a detailed account of the development of the airplane and the dirigible. The work is divided into four parts: the evolution of the airplane, progress in design from 1903 to 1920, aerostatics, and engine development.

Download or read book Exploring Pilots Experiences of Integrating Technologically Advanced Aircraft Within General Aviation written by Calvin Nobles and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-30 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A must read for researchers and practitioners with a personal and professional desire to improve general aviation safety. As a general aviation enthusiast and researcher, the author wants to ensure general aviation remains a viable and flourishing sector of the aviation industry. This book highlights a growing phenomenon of integrating innovative technologies in general aviation. The goal is to ensure technologists, researchers and the aviation industry ameliorate collaborative endeavors to counterbalance the pros and cons of integrating technologies in general aviation to decrease the number of accidents and fatalities. Technologically advanced aircraft are fascinating and pilots with the proper training are able to capitalize on flying advanced aircraft with comparable technologies that are analogous to commercial and military aircraft. This book expounds on general aviation pilots' concerns with integrating glass cockpits in general aviation. The research within corroborates a previous study that technologically advanced aircraft have not improved general aviation safety. At issue are training, safety, proficiency and competency, and aeronautical decision-making implications. General aviation remains under researched when compared to commercial and military aviation sectors. This book provides recommendations for improving general aviation safety by eliminating the after-effects of innovations in general aviation. accidents, adaptable automation, aeronautical decision-making, aeronautical examination, air traffic control, air transport industry, aircraft, analog gauges, assessments, Automation management, autopilot, aviation, aviation leaders, Aviation Safety Officer (ASO), Aviation Safety Program (ASP), avionics, certified flight instructors, cockpit instrumentation, cockpit scanning, cockpit standardization, Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), commercial aviation, Crew Resource Management (CRM), curriculum, data analysis, decision-making skills, dispatchers, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), FITS training, Fixed-wing aircraft, flight management systems, flight schools, flight training, Future Aviation Advisory Committee (FAAC), General Aviation Joint Steering Committee (GAJSC), glass cockpits, global positioning systems, Government Accountability Office, ground controllers, Human Factors Analysis & Classification System, International Civil Aviation Organization, National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA), National Transportation Safety Board , NextGen, pilots, Safety Management System (SMS), Single-pilot resource management, snowball sampling, technologically advanced aircraft (TAA), training deficiency, van Kaam model #accidents, #adaptableautomation, #aeronauticaldecision-making, #aeronauticalexamination, #airtrafficcontrol, #airtransportindustry, #aircraft, #analoggauges, #assessments, #Automationmanagement, #autopilot, #aviation, #aviationleaders, #AviationSafetyOfficer(ASO), #AviationSafetyProgram(ASP), #avionics, #certifiedflightinstructors, #cockpitinstrumentation, #cockpitscanning, #cockpitstandardization, #CodeofFederalRegulations(CFR), #commercialaviation, #CrewResourceManagement(CRM), #curriculum, #dataanalysis, #decision-makingskills, #dispatchers, #FederalAviationAdministration(FAA), #FITStraining, #Fixed-wingaircraft, #flightmanagementsystems(FMS), #flightschools, #flighttraining, #FutureAviationAdvisoryCommittee(FAAC), #GeneralAviationJointSteeringCommittee(GAJSC), #glasscockpits, #globalpositioningsystems(GPS), #GovernmentAccountabilityOffice(GAO), #groundcontrollers, #HumanFactorsAnalysisandClassificationSystem, #InternationalCivilAviationOrganization(ICAO), #NationalAeronauticsandSpaceAdministration(NASA), #NationalTransportationSafetyBoard(NTSB), #NextGenerationofAirTransportationSystem(NextGen), #pilots, #SafetyManagementSystem(SMS), #Single-pilotresourcemanagement, #snowballsampling, #technologicallyadvancedaircraft(TAA), #trainingdeficiency, #vanKaammodel

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Aeronautics and Space Act of 1958 is the United States federal statute that created the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The Act, which followed close on the heels of the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik, was drafted by the United States House Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration and on July 29, 1958 was signed by President Eisenhower. Prior to enactment, the responsibility for space exploration was deemed primarily a military venture, in line with the Soviet model that had launched the first orbital satellite. In large measure, the Act was prompted by the lack of response by a US military infrastructure that seemed incapable of keeping up the space race.
