Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the dramatic flight by "Chuck" Yeager in 1947, when an aircraft first exceeded the speed of sound, the dream of a successful supersonic airliner has captivated the interest of many manufacturers & of many governments. But as yet, only a few concordes & a couple of Tupolev Tu-144s have gone into service, on a very few routes & none were ever sold. The cost of developing any supersonic airliner is prohibitive. The prospect of their being able to operate economically is remote. The market for such an aircraft (which would have to charge premium fares, even more than first class) is very small. Manufacturers & government agencies alike continue to base their multi-million research programs on inflated market "estimates" that combine substantial elements of special pleading & wishful thinking. Statements invariably include a plethora of "shoulds" & "coulds" in their predictions; but their assumptions carry little weight, as they are ill-supported by known data. The conclusions drawn to produce market "estimates" of more than a thousand aircraft neither clear-headed nor objective. This book, written by an experienced analyst who spent most of his career in commercial airline market research & traffic forecasting, explodes the myth. The analysis draws upon known facts, applies simple arithmetic & makes assumptions that are based on technical, operational & commercial sense.

Download or read book High Speed Dreams written by Erik M. Conway and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In High-Speed Dreams, Erik M. Conway constructs an insightful history that focuses primarily on the political and commercial factors responsible for the rise and fall of American supersonic transport research programs. Conway charts commercial supersonic research efforts through the changing relationships between international and domestic politicians, military/NASA contractors, private investors, and environmentalists. He documents post-World War II efforts at the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics and the Defense Department to generate supersonic flight technologies, the attempts to commercialize these technologies by Britain and the United States during the 1950s and 1960s, environmental campaigns against SST technology in the 1970s, and subsequent attempts to revitalize supersonic technology at the end of the century. High-Speed Dreams is a sophisticated study of politics, economics, nationalism, and the global pursuit of progress. Historians, along with participants in current aerospace research programs, will gain valuable perspective on the interaction of politics and technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the use of the ultraviolet for remote sensing of the Earth's atmosphere. It covers the Earth's UV radiative environment, experimental techniques, and current applications. it is my intention to provide the information needed to "make a first approximation" concerning the use of the ultraviolet and to provide access through the literature for a more thorough study.* Contains recent UV applications not previously available in book form such as ozone, auroral images, and ionospheric sensing* Features broad coverage of fundamentals of atmospheric geophysics with values for fluxes, cross-sections, and radiances* Covers techniques that illustrate principles of measurements with typical values* Contains numerous references to original literature

Download or read book NASA Research on Materials Applicable to Supersonic Transports written by Herbert F. Hardrath and published by . This book was released on 1964 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Aeronautics and Space Administration has conducted tests to determine the mechanical properties of materials suitable for use in a supersonics transport over the temperature range of interest and after prolonged exposure to temperature. On the basis of studies on fatigue behavior, rate of fatigue crack propagation, residual static strength, and resistance to deterioration of properties due to prolonged exposure to temperature, no serious materials problems are anticipated. However, stress corrosion is found to be a potentially serious problem in titanium alloys in a hot salt environment and in stainless steels in an ambient environment. The-Ti-8A1-lMo-lV alloy is found to be generally superior to other contending materials in all respects studied except for salt stress corrosion in which respect it was poorer than all others. Further research is recommended on stress corrosion; on the combined effects of fatigue, thermal exposure, and creep; and on the development of structural configurations and fabrication procedures suitable for the supersonic transport.
