Book Synopsis Garo Z. Antreasian by : Garo Z. Antreasian
Download or read book Garo Z. Antreasian written by Garo Z. Antreasian and published by UNM Press. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Garo Z. Antreasian (b. 1922) belongs to the great generation of innovators in mid-twentieth-century American art. While influenced by a variety of European artists in his early years, it was his involvement with Tamarind Lithography Workshop starting in 1960 that transformed his work. As Tamarind’s founding technical director, he revolutionized the medium of lithography. He discovered how to manipulate the spontaneous possibilities of lithography in the manner of the Abstract Expressionist painters. In addition to reflecting on his work, he writes movingly about his Armenian heritage and its importance in his art, his teaching, and his love affair with all sorts of artistic media. Illustrating his drawings, paintings, and prints, this book reveals Antreasian as a major American artist. This book was made possible in part by generous contributions from the Frederick Hammersley Foundation and Gerald Peters Gallery.

Book Synopsis Quest for Flight by : Craig S. Harwood
Download or read book Quest for Flight written by Craig S. Harwood and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-17 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wright brothers have long received the lion’s share of credit for inventing the airplane. But a California scientist succeeded in flying gliders twenty years before the Wright’s powered flights at Kitty Hawk in 1903. Quest for Flight reveals the amazing accomplishments of John J. Montgomery, a prolific inventor who piloted the glider he designed in 1883 in the first controlled flights of a heavier-than-air craft in the Western Hemisphere. Re-examining the history of American aviation, Craig S. Harwood and Gary B. Fogel present the story of human efforts to take to the skies. They show that history’s nearly exclusive focus on two brothers resulted from a lengthy public campaign the Wrights waged to profit from their aeroplane patent and create a monopoly in aviation. Countering the aspersions cast on Montgomery and his work, Harwood and Fogel build a solidly documented case for Montgomery’s pioneering role in aeronautical innovation. As a scientist researching the laws of flight, Montgomery invented basic methods of aircraft control and stability, refined his theories in aerodynamics over decades of research, and brought widespread attention to aviation by staging public demonstrations of his gliders. After his first flights near San Diego in the 1880s, his pursuit continued through a series of glider designs. These experiments culminated in 1905 with controlled flights in Northern California using tandem-wing Montgomery gliders launched from balloons. These flights reached the highest altitudes yet attained, demonstrated the effectiveness of Montgomery’s designs, and helped change society’s attitude toward what was considered “the impossible art” of aerial navigation. Inventors and aviators working west of the Mississippi at the turn of the twentieth century have not received the recognition they deserve. Harwood and Fogel place Montgomery’s story and his exploits in the broader context of western aviation and science, shedding new light on the reasons that California was the epicenter of the American aviation industry from the very beginning.

Book Synopsis RC light-wind glider by : Dr. Heinrich Eder
Download or read book RC light-wind glider written by Dr. Heinrich Eder and published by Verlag für Technik und Handwerk. This book was released on with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying from upwind to upwind without propulsion and fighting for every metre of height – that is the fascination of pure gliding. If you want to enjoy this without the electric drive that is so common today, you should pay attention to a few things when building your models. The author, Dr. Heinrich Eder, is a specialist in the aerodynamic peculiarities of light-wind gliders, and in this book, he makes his research results and experience available to everyone. Where do you place the turbulator, how do you calculate the setting angle difference, how do you optimally design winglets or find the best wing geometry? This technical book answers such questions and imparts the knowledge needed to design and optimise one's own constructions, with many photos, diagrams, and drawings. In addition, there is tried and tested advice for stable lightweight construction and successful flight, as well as many examples of proven light-wind gliders. From the content: • Re-number influence on sink rate • The induced drag • The wing aspect ratio of a light wind glider • How to calculate the EWD? • C.G. position and lift distribution • Winglets, Tiplets and Co. • Optimisation of lift distribution • Pitch and sweep • Profiles for light wind gliders • Selection of balsa and CFRP • Paper, polyester fleece and silk • Detecting and avoiding distortions • The effect of the turbulator • Running, rubber and winch launching • Descent aids and thermal tactics • Examples for light wind sailors

Book Synopsis Big-Wing Paper Gliders by : Michael Johnson
Download or read book Big-Wing Paper Gliders written by Michael Johnson and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 1992-10-15 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each of the seven models in this colorful book was chosen with super performance in mind. The wingspans are extra wide (ranging from 2 to 2 1/2 feet) and extra stable to allow maximum flight time. The planes are sturdy enough to be flown outdoors and several have been designed with a tow hook that enabled them to be towed into the air, kite fashion, and released at heights up to 150 feet. These free-flying gliders are capable of several minutes or more of flight time. The size of the models makes them relatively easy to construct, and each comes with complete, detailed instructions for assembling and trimming. All parts are printed in full color and are die-cut for easy removal, and all major fold lines are scored for easy folding. Try the all-wing design Blade 7, the fast-flying Delta M5, or the virtually stall-proof Yellowbird. big Wing Paper Gliders will provide hours of building and flying enjoyment for modelmakers and paper airplane enthusiasts of all skill levels.
