Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ask anybody what superpower they wished to possess and odds are the answer just might be "the ability to fly." What is it about soaring through the air held up by the power of one's own body that has captivated humans for so long? David Alexander examines the evolution of flight in the only four animals to have evolved this ability: insects, pterosaurs, birds, and bats. With an accessible writing style grounded in rigorous research, Alexander breaks new ground in a field that has previously been confined to specialists. While birds have received the majority of attention from flight researchers, Alexander pays equal attention to all four groups of flyers-something that no other book on the subject has done before now. In a streamlined and captivating way, David Alexander demonstrates the links between the tiny 2-mm thrip and the enormous albatross with the 12 feet wingspan used to cross oceans. The book delves into the fossil record of flyers enough to satisfy the budding paleontologist, while also pleasing ornithologists and entomologists alike with its treatment of animal behavior, flapping mechanisms, and wing-origin theory. Alexander uses relatable examples to draw in readers even without a natural interest in birds, bees, and bats. He takes something that is so off-limits and unfamiliar to humans-the act of flying-and puts it in the context of experiences that many readers can relate to. Alexander guides readers through the anomalies of the flying world: hovering hummingbirds, unexpected gliders (squirrels, for instance), and the flyers that went extinct (pterosaurs). Alexander also delves into wing-origin theory and explores whether birds entered the skies from the trees down (as gliders) or from the ground up (as runners) and uses the latest fossil evidence to present readers with an answer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two similar tapered sweptback plan forms with the same two spanwise variations of twist have been tested in the Mach number range from 0.8 to 2.0. The test results showed, in general, rather good agreement with theoretical predictions of the incremental span loadings due to twist for zero angle of attack. The measured incremental span loadings due to twist generally diminished with increasing angle of attack through the Mach number range. At a Mach number of 0.9, the incremental loadings progressively vanished from the tip inboard with increasing angle of attack. For the highest angles of attack (about 20 degrees) at Mach number 0.9, there was no difference in the span loadings of the flat and twisted wings. At a higher supersonic speeds, a similar vanishing at the tips of the incremental loading due to twist was starting at the highest angles of attack (near 20 degrees).

This book was released on 1950 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The method of computing velocity and pressure distributions along wing profiles under the assumption of the simplified density-speed relation, outlined in NACA Technical Note 1006, is extended to the case of a nonsymmetrical profile and a flow with circulation. The shape of the profile, the speed of the undisturbed flow, and a parameter determing the angle of attack may be prescribed. The problem is reduced to a nonlinear integral equation which can be solved numerical by an iteration method. A numerical example is given.

Book excerpt: Despite current concerns for "family values" and the dissolution of marriages, Amy A. and Leon R. Kass see very little attention being paid to what makes for marital success. They argue there are no longer socially prescribed forms of conduct that help guide young men and women in the direction of matrimony; the very concepts of "wooing" and "courting" seem archaic. Yet they see major discontent with the present situation and detect among their students certain longings--for friendship, for wholeness, for a life that is serious and deep, and for associations that are trustworthy and lasting--longings they do not realize could be largely satisfied by marrying well. Wing to Wing, Oar to Oar: Courting and Marrying is an anthology of source readings offered as a response to the contemporary cultural silence surrounding love that leads to marriage. It addresses important questions that emerge not from theory, but from practice: Why marry? Is this love? How can I find and win the right one to marry? What about sex? Why a wedding and the promises of marriage? What can married life be like? Using readings taken mainly from classic texts of Homer, Herodotus, Plato, Aquinas, Erasmus, Shakespeare, Rousseau, Austen, Tolstoy, C.S. Lewis, Miss Manners, and many others, this collection challenges our unexamined opinions, expands our sympathies, elevates our gaze. It offers a higher kind of sex education, one that prepares hearts and minds for romance leading to lasting marriage, and introduces us to possibilities open to human beings in everyday life that may be undreamt of in our current philosophizing. This unapologetically pro-marriage anthology is intended to help young people of marriageable age and their parents think about the meaning, purpose, and virtues of marriage and, especially, about finding the right person with whom to make a life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rapid method for estimating the downwash behind swept-wing airplanes is presented. The basic assumption is that of a flat horizontal sheet of vortices trailing behind the wing. The integrations for the downwash are handled in a manner similar to both Multhopp's and Weissinger's approximate integrations in their span-loading calculations. The principal effects of rolling-up of the wake are treated as corrections to the flat-sheet wake. A simple approximate correction for the effect of the fuselage is applied. The agreement with available experimental data taken behind airplane models is good. Computing forms are included together with charts of pertinent functions, so as to enable simple direct application.

Martina and published by . This book was released on 1956 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wind-tunnel flutter investigations at Mach numbers up to 0.30 have been conducted on a 40 degree sweptback wing having pylon-mounted stores located at 73.5 percent of the semispan. The investigations were conducted on a semispan-cantilever wing with root fixed and with the full-span wing mounted on an autopilot-controlled model of a fighter-type airplane flown on the end of a towline. The store loadings were varied from 55 to 88 percent of the wing-panel weight, and the store pitch inertias were varied from 66 to 181 percent of the wing-panel pitch inertia. Most of the data were obtained with the store centers of gravity located at 15 percent of the local wing chord.

The cambered delta wing was derived from a segment of a cone selected so that the projected plan form with a wing dihedral angle of zero degrees was the same as a 60 degree delta wing. The projected plan form had an aspect ratio of 2.31.

Two wings, both with 30 degrees sweep of the quarter-chord line, taper ratio of 0.2, aspect ratio of 3, and thickness of 4 percent chord, but of different types of construction, were tested. One wing was of solid steel and the other was of plastic with an inner steel core ...
