Book Synopsis Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird by : James C. Goodall
Download or read book Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird written by James C. Goodall and published by Schiffer Military History. This book was released on 2018 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The legendary SR-71 Blackbird spy plane was, and still is, the world's only operational Mach 3 aircraft, and was designed, built, and tested by Lockheed's famed "Skunk Works." This new book covers all fifty Blackbirds built, from the first flight in 1962, to the last in 1999. As a replacement for the venerable U-2 spyplane, Lockheed went from contract signing to first flight in only thirty-two months starting in April 1958--from the beginning of design studies to the signing of a contract from the CIA to build the initial batch of A-12s in February 1960, to first flight in 1962. From the A-1 design through the completion of the very first Radar Cross Section models of the A-12, to the testing of every major system and subsystem, this book describes and illustrates the SR-71 as never before, using images from a variety of sources, as well as the author's own superb, new photography.

Book Synopsis Starflight: How the PC and DOS Exploded Computer Gaming by : Jamie Lendino
Download or read book Starflight: How the PC and DOS Exploded Computer Gaming written by Jamie Lendino and published by Steel Gear Press. This book was released on 2022-03-14 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one saw it coming. At its launch in 1981, IBM’s original Personal Computer was an expensive business machine—not a gaming behemoth of the kind you saw from Apple, Atari, Commodore, and Tandy. But by 1990, the PC had trampled all its competitors and become the gaming juggernaut it remains to this day. How did this happen? What did the PC do that the ostensibly superior Commodore Amiga, Atari ST, and Apple IIGS, couldn’t? In Starflight: How the PC and DOS Exploded Computer Gaming 1987–1994, author Jamie Lendino tells the full story, starting with the PC’s humble CGA and monochrome origins, moving through early ill-fated (if influential) failures such as the PCjr and Tandy 1000, and diving deep into the industry-shattering innovations in processing, graphics, sound, software, and distribution that gave the PC (and the gamers who loved it) unprecedented power and reach. Along the way, Lendino explores more than 110 of the PC’s most entertaining and important games, revealing how they paved the way for PC supremacy while also offering players new levels of challenge and fun. From groundbreaking graphic adventures (King’s Quest, The Secret of Monkey Island), innovative role-playing games (Ultima, Might and Magic), and sprawling space combat epics (Wing Commander, X-Wing) to titanic strategy titles (Civilization, X-Com), first-person shooters (Stellar 7, Doom), wide-ranging simulations (Stunts, Falcon 3.0), and hard-driving arcade action games (Arkanoid, Raptor), you’ll discover every detail of how the PC’s games catapulted it into the computer gaming stratosphere. Whether you were there at the time—experiencing first-hand the transition of EGA to VGA and single-voice beeps and boops to sweepingly symphonic Roland MT-32 sound, and discovering historic titles upon their release—or you’re only now discovering the wonders of the era, Starflight: How the PC and DOS Exploded Computer Gaming 1987–1994 is a fresh, dynamic, and impossible-to-put-it-down look at the years when PC gaming—and computer gaming itself—changed forever.
Book Synopsis Aerodynamic Deployable Decelerator Performance-Evaluation Program by : E. Bloetscher
Download or read book Aerodynamic Deployable Decelerator Performance-Evaluation Program written by E. Bloetscher and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Aerodynamic Deployable Decelerator Performance-Evaluation Program (ADDPEP) aims to advance the state of the art by developing the most effective analytical and empirical techniques for designing aerodynamic deployable decelerators and for evaluating these engineering techniques through wind-tunnel and free-flight tests. During ADDPEP Phase 2, two types of decelerators were investigated: large reefed supersonic parachutes and raminflated balloon-type BALLUTEs. The areas investigated included analytical and engineering design, material capabilities, fabrication techniques, and wind-tunnel and free-flight tests. Free-flight tests were performed on a hemisflo parachute having a nominal 16-ft-diameter canopy, a 10-percent extended skirt, and a 14-percent porosity. This design was tested for 200,000-lb opening loads, deployment Mach numbers were 1.50, 1.63, and 1.84 at altitudes of 13,700, 15,500, and 10,500 ft, respectively. The results confirmed that this parachute has excellent aerodynamic characteristics and adequate strength. Five-foot-diameter BALLUTEs, both textile and metal, were fabricated. These were designed for a broad spectrum of deployment conditions ranging from Mach 2.7 at 73,000 ft to Mach 10 at 225,000 ft. The textile BALLUTEs were wind-tunnel and free-flight tested; the metal BALLUTEs were wind-tunnel tested only. Flight tests were limited to Mach 9.7, and wind-tunnel tests to Mach 3. The flight test data supported wind-tunnel data, which indicated that excellent stability and structurally adequate designs can be attained with five-foot-diameter BALLUTEs.

Download or read book Hesburgh written by Michael O'Brien and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most versatile and highly respected academic leader in the United States, Father Theodore Hesburgh was known for his rare energy and ability to carry out a staggering variety of assignments with distinction. He combined an exceptional blend and balance of qualities-intellect, character, personality, spirituality, and management skill. A man of enormous good will, he tried to embody the compassion of Christ. During his career as president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, enrollment doubled, the endowment grew from $9 million to $350 million, and the number of buildings on campus increased from 48 to 88. At the time of his retirement, his signature was on the degrees of four out of five living Notre Dame graduates. While transforming Notre Dame into a great university, he transformed himself into a national figure with influence far beyond his campus. He was tapped for service by every American president since Eisenhower and by three popes. His fifteen Presidential appointments involved him in almost all the major social issues, and for fifteen years he served on the U.S. Civil Rights Commission. This book examines Fr. Hesburgh's personality, leadership qualities, management strategies, and central role as a priest. It chronicles his prominent position in advancing civil rights and explores his relationship with famous people, among them John and Robert Kennedy, Richard Nixon, Jimmy Carter, and Pope Paul VI. Finally, the biography investigates unfamiliar aspects of his life: his relationship with women and his six "adopted" children, his attitude toward Notre Dame's high profile football program, and his sometimes controversial views on the Vatican, celibacy, birth control, abortion, and homosexuality. Michael O'Brien is professor of history at the University of Wisconsin-Fox Valley, Menasha, Wisconsin. He is the author of McCarthy and McCarthyism in Wisconsin (1981), Vince: A Personal Biography of Vince Lombardi (1987), and Senator Phillip Hart: The Conscience of the Senate (1996). "A fascinating examination of the Hesburgh era and his towering legacy of service to his church, his country, and his fellow citizens."--Today's Catholic "O'Brien draws on archives and interviews as well as secondary research to produce a thorough survey of the life and character of perhaps the most powerful Catholic priest in the post-World War II U.S."--Booklist "The world has urgently needed a comprehensive study of Fr. Hesburgh's phenomenal accomplishments. . . . This book] is very adequate for chronicling and studying the career of one of the Church's most significant individuals of the century. O'Brien's research, including interviews with many who worked with Hesburgh, is solid. If other analyses of the work of Fr. Hesburgh are forthcoming, they will surely rely heavily on this biography. Public and academic libraries, and those parish libraries serving Notre Dame alumni, will do well to purchase this book."--Catholic Library World "A detailed but accessible biography. . . Although O'Brien's account is strictly chronological and rarely attempts interpretation his biography of a life of single-minded devotion will interest readers already fascinated by Hesburgh as well as those who meet him here for the first time."--Publishers Weekly "O'Brien has done a good job of synthesizing the long list of books, articles, diaries and other things written by and about Father Ted. He alos has interviewed 118 people who worked with Father Ted or otherwise know him well. The result is a book that not only chronicles his notable accomplishments but also tells us what makes Father Ted tick. . . . For all who admire this amazing man, and for those who don't know him, I recommend this book."--St. Anthony Messenger "In an a
