Book excerpt: Established in 1917 as the nation#s first civil aeronautics research laboratory under the National Advisory Commit-tee for Aeronautics (NACA), Langley was a small laboratory that solved the problems of flight for military and civil aviation. Throughout history, Langley has maintained a working partnership with the Department of Defense, U.S. industry, universities, and other government agencies to support the defense of the nation with research. During World War II, Langley directed virtually all of its workforce and facilities to research for military aircraft. Following the war, a balanced program of military and civil projects was undertaken. In some instances Langley research from one aircraft program helped solve a problem in another. At the conclusion of some programs, Langley obtained the research models for additional tests to learn more about previously unknown phenomena. The data also proved useful in later developmental programs. Many of the military aircraft in the U.S. inventory as of late 1999 were over 20 years old. Langley activities that contributed to the development of some of these aircraft began over 50 years prior. This publication documents the role, from early concept stages to problem solving for fleet aircraft, that Langley played in the military aircraft fleet of the United States for the 1990's.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This NASA documents the contributions of Langley Research Center to specific military aircraft that were operational in the 1990's. Virtually all military aircraft that participated in Operation Desert Storm, Kosovo, and other peacekeeping missions of this era have Langley technical contributions to their design, development, and support. In some instances Langley research from one aircraft development program helped to solve a problem in another development program. At the conclusion of some development programs, Langley researchers obtained the research models to conduct additional tests to learn more about previously unknown phenomena. These data also proved useful in later developmental programs. Perhaps the most consistent element in all of the research programs is the length of time for the development and maturation of new research concepts before they are implemented in new aircraft. Many of the military aircraft in the U.S. inventory as of late 1999 were over 20 years old. Langley activities that contributed to the development of some of these aircraft began over 50 years prior. This publication documents the role--from early concept stages to problem solving for fleet aircraft--that Langley played in the military aircraft fleet of the United States for the 1990's. The declassification of documents and other material has provided an opportunity to record the contributions of Langley personnel and facilities and discuss the impact of these contributions on Department of Defense aircraft programs.BAI Exdrone BQM-147A * Highlights of Research by Langley for the Exdrone * Langley Contributions to the Exdrone BQM-147A * Background * Langley Research Efforts * Subsequent Exdrone Vehicle Applications * Boeing AV-8 Harrier * Highlights of Research by Langley for the AV-8 * Langley Contributions to the AV-8 * Background * Contributions to the P.1127 * Contributions to the Kestrel * Contributions to the AV-8 * Boeing C-17 Globemaster III * Highlights of Research by Langley for the C-17 * Langley Contributions to the C-17 * The CX Competition * The Externally Blown Flap Concept * TheYC-15 * The C-17 Supercritical Wing, Winglets, and Aerodynamic Studies * Composite Materials * Fly-by-Wire Control System * Avoiding the Deep Stall * Recognition Visit * Boeing F/A-18 Hornet * Highlights of Research by Langley for the F/A-18 * Langley Contributions to the F/A-18 * Vortex Lift and Maneuvering Flaps * Development of the YF-17 * F/A-18A to F/A-18D * Development of the F/A-18 * Cruise Drag * High-Angle-Of-Attack, Spin, and Spin Recovery Characteristics * The NASA High-Angle-Of-Attack Technology Program * The Falling-Leaf Maneuver * Flutter Clearance and Tail Buffet * Thrust-Vectoring Research * F/A-18E/F * The Super Hornet * Cruise Performance * Redesign of the Leading-Edge Extension * High-Angle-Of-Attack Characteristics * Spin Tunnel and Drop-Model Tests * Flutter Tests * Wing Drop * Boeing T-45 Goshawk * Highlights of Research by Langley for the T-45 * Langley Contributions to the T-45 * Early Configuration Development * Stall Characteristics * Spin Characteristics * Ground Handling * Inlet Performance * Fairchild Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II * Highlights of Research by Langley for the A-10 * Langley Contributions to the A-10 * The A-X Competition Spin Recovery * General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark * Highlights of Research by Langley for the F-111 * Langley Contributions to the F-111 * The Variable-Sweep Wing Concept * The Tactical Fighter Experimental (TFX) Program * Aerodynamic Performance * Propulsion Integration * High-Angle-of-Attack Characteristics * Spin Recovery * Flutter Tests * Crew Escape Module. * Wing Box Problem

Book Synopsis "Read You Loud and Clear!" by : Sunny Tsiao
Download or read book "Read You Loud and Clear!" written by Sunny Tsiao and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Dust Jacket: Regardless of how sophisticated it may be, no spacecraft is of any value unless it can be tracked accurately to determine where it is and how it is performing. At the height of the space race, 6,000 men and women operated NASA's Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network at some two dozen locations across five continents. This network, known as the STDN, began its operation by tracking Sputnik 1, the world's first artificial satellite that was launched into space by the former Soviet Union. Over the next 40 years, the network was destined to play a crucial role on every near-Earth space mission that NASA flew. Whether it was receiving the first television images from space, tracking Apollo astronauts to the Moon and back, or data acquiring for Earth science, the STDN was that intricate network behind the scenes making the missions possible. Some called it the "Invisible Network," a hallmark of which was that no NASA mission has ever been compromised due to a network failure. Read You Loud and Clear! is a historical account of the STDN, starting with its formation in the late 1950s to what it is today in the first decade of the twenty-first century. It traces the roots of the tracking network from its beginnings at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) space-based constellation of today. The story spans the early days of satellite tracking using the Minitrack Network, through the expansion of the Satellite Tracking And Data Acquisition Network (STADAN) and the Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN), and finally, to the Space and Ground Networks of today. Written from a nontechnical perspective, the author has translated a highly technical subject into historical accounts told within the framework of the U.S. space program. These accounts tell how international goodwill and foreign cooperation were crucial to the operation of the network and why the space agency chose to build the STDN the way it did. More than anything else, the story of NASA's STDN is about the "unsung heroes of the space program."

This book was released on 2010-07-07 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 29 July 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the National Aeronautics and Space Act, creating the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which became operational on 1 October of that year. Over the next 50 years, NASA achieved a set of spectacular feats, ranging from advancing the well-established field of aeronautics to pioneering the new fields of Earth and space science and human spaceflight. In the midst of the geopolitical context of the Cold War, 12 Americans walked on the Moon, arriving in peace “for all mankind.” Humans saw their home planet from a new perspective, with unforgettable Apollo images of Earthrise and the “Blue Marble,” as well as the “pale blue dot” from the edge of the solar system. A flotilla of spacecraft has studied Earth, while other spacecraft have probed the depths of the solar system and the universe beyond. In the 1980s, the evolution of aeronautics gave us the first winged human spacecraft, the Space Shuttle, and the International Space Station stands as a symbol of human cooperation in space as well as a possible way station to the stars. With the Apollo fire and two Space Shuttle accidents, NASA has also seen the depths of tragedy. In this volume, a wide array of scholars turn a critical eye toward NASA’s first 50 years, probing an institution widely seen as the premier agency for exploration in the world, carrying on a long tradition of exploration by the United States and the human species in general. Fifty years after its founding, NASA finds itself at a crossroads that historical perspectives can only help to illuminate.
