Book excerpt: "Plane!"""a word squealed in delight by toddlers who hear, look up, and see a big gray object, a jet, sometimes leaving a billowy trail of white smoke (vapor), flying overhead. What is it? How did it get up there when I am down here? Can you take me to see a real plane? Can I touch it? Can we go inside? Can I ride in one? The wonders of the airplane never cease to amaze us. Endless questions come from our fascination with airplanes and flight. What is an airplane? Is an airplane any different from an aircraft? Why do they look different from each other? Can they fly without power? What are all the different parts of a plane called? Why Do Airplanes Have Tails? will take the reader from top to bottom, from left to right, from inside to outside, and in between, discovering a light aircraft and its basic parts. To be sure, they are complicated pieces of machinery. However, they operate under simple principles and with its many parts operating together, each contribute to lifting this piece of metal (or wood or composite) into the air. The language of airplanes is straightforward. When visual differences of airplanes are pointed out, it sometimes becomes obvious and even logical as to why they are called what they are called, whether a biplane, a high-wing, a low-wing, or even a three-wing. Many airplanes have made history""the Concorde, the Wright Flyer, the Voyager, the Spruce Goose, the Harrier jet, and the Spirit of St. Louis to name a few. There is a story behind the creation of each of these airplanes. Airplanes also have jobs""the airliner, the crop duster, the fire plane, the weather plane, and the exhibition plane, along with others""each designed and used for a specific purpose. Don't wait""read and get answers to what you've been wondering about airplanes! David Stanley was a 16-year-old Lafayette High gifted student when I met him and he was asked to illustrate this book. He gladly accepted and 14 illustrations were hand-drawn. We took field trips to airports and hangers and I took photos from which he used to illustrate. Since David wants to become a missionary in his home country of Burma after college, and in appreciation of his top-notch work, 25% of the profits of every book sold will go into an account for his future mission work. God bless you, David!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stability and Control of Airplanes and Helicopters deals with aircraft flying qualities that determine the stability and control of airplanes and helicopters. It includes problems based on real aircraft, selected to represent the gamut from simple to complicated, and from conventional utility designs to futuristic research types. Many of these problems involve comparison of theory and experiment to demonstrate their mutual relationship. Comprised of 25 chapters, this book begins with a discussion on the aerodynamics of the component parts related to the lift and moment characteristics of an airplane, including wings and associated accessories; bodies such as fuselages, nacelles, and tip tanks; and control surfaces. The reader is then introduced to some mathematical techniques for linear differential equations; steady flight at different speeds; and stick force and control-free stability. Subsequent chapters focus on flaps and high-lift devices; power and compressibility effects; and the manner in which the aircraft responds to the application of control. Aeroelasticity and longitudinal equations of motion are also examined. This monograph is intended for undergraduate and graduate students taking modern engineering courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A summary was made of all NASA (and NACA) research and experience related to the spin and recovery characteristics of light personal-owner-type general-aviation airplanes. Very little of the research deals with light general-aviation airplanes as such, but many of the airplanes and models tested before and during World War II were similar to present-day light general-aviation airplanes with regard to the factors that are important in spinning. The material is based mainly on the results of spin-tunnel tests of free-spinning dynamically scaled models of about 100 different airplane designs and, whenever possible, includes correlation with full-scale spin tests. The research results are discussed in terms of airplane design considerations and the proper use of controls for recovery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with students of aerospace or aeronautical engineering firmly in mind, this is a practical and wide-ranging book that draws together the various theoretical elements of aircraft design - structures, aerodynamics, propulsion, control and others - and guides the reader in applying them in practice. Based on a range of detailed real-life aircraft design projects, including military training, commercial and concept aircraft, the experienced UK and US based authors present engineering students with an essential toolkit and reference to support their own project work. All aircraft projects are unique and it is impossible to provide a template for the work involved in the design process. However, with the knowledge of the steps in the initial design process and of previous experience from similar projects, students will be freer to concentrate on the innovative and analytical aspects of their course project. The authors bring a unique combination of perspectives and experience to this text. It reflects both British and American academic practices in teaching aircraft design. Lloyd Jenkinson has taught aircraft design at both Loughborough and Southampton universities in the UK and Jim Marchman has taught both aircraft and spacecraft design at Virginia Tech in the US. * Demonstrates how basic aircraft design processes can be successfully applied in reality * Case studies allow both student and instructor to examine particular design challenges * Covers commercial and successful student design projects, and includes over 200 high quality illustrations

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The origin of Aerodynamic Design of Transport Aircraft stems from the time when the author was appointed part-time professor in the Aerospace Faculty of Delft University of Technology. At the time his main activities were those of leading the departments of Aerodynamics, Performance and Preliminary Design at Fokker Aircraft Company. The groundwork for this book started in 1987 as a series of lecture notes consisting mainly of pictorial material with a minimum of English explanatory text. After the demise of Fokker in 1996 one feared that interest in aeronautical engineering would strongly diminish. As a result of this, the course was discontinued and the relationship between the author and the faculty came to an end. Two years later the situation was reappraised, and the interest in aeronautical engineering remained, so the course was reinstated with a former Fokker colleague Ronald Slingerland as lecturer. The lecture notes from these courses form the foundation of this publication.

This book was released on 1945 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: The NACA is conducting flight tests of an all-movable horizontal tail installed on a Curtiss XP-42 airplane because of its possible advantages as a longitudinal control for flight at high Mach numbers. The results are presented for some preliminary tests in the low-speed range for which the tail was very closely balanced aerodynamically and a bobweight was used to obtain stable stick-force variations with speed and acceleration. For these tests, the tail was hinged at 0.24 chord and was tried with two arrangements of servotab control. The elevator control was found to be unsatisfactory with the control arrangements tested. Although there were sufficient variation of stick force with acceleration in steady turns and a stable stick-force variation with speed, the near-zero variation of stick force with stick deflection resulted in an extremely sensitive control that required continuous attention in order to avoid motions of the airplane due to inadvertent movements of the control stick. For subsequent tests, the servotabs are being connected as geared unbalancing tabs in order that more conventional elevator hinge-moment characteristics may be obtained. The expected advantages of the all-movable tail with a control system utilizing tabs would of course be limited to flight at Mach numbers below those for which severe compressibility effects are encountered on the tail itself. For higher Mach numbers, the all-movable tail would require an irreversible power-boost control in order to handle the large hinge-moment increases that are expected.
