Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Naval Air Station Patuxent River (NAS Pax River) played a crucial role in forging Americas naval air arm. This unique center proved to be vital for flight testing and evaluating naval aircraft and weapons systems destined for operational fleet service. NAS Pax River taught fleet pilots new tactics by conducting aircraft weapons tests, a tradition supplemented today by ground-based simulation. During and after World War II, it served as a primary center for flight testing and evaluating foreign aircraft. Some of the worlds best test pilots and eventual astronauts came to NAS Pax River to hone their flight skills and to participate in the testing of naval aviations premier aircraft. It is also home to the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) and the US Naval Test Pilot School, and it is the headquarters of the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR).

Book Synopsis Country and Family by : John F. Mitchell
Download or read book Country and Family written by John F. Mitchell and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-12-30 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early in 1973 I was flying a normal Variable Stability System (VSS) flight at the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, Maryland. The student in the right seat of the converted B-26 aircraft was Lieutenant Commander George White. He was flying his third consecutive VSS flight. George had successfully completed all his upper air work in the vicinity of 10,000 feet. He commenced making a series of approaches to the active runway, which was oriented northeast/southwest (04/22)1. Each approach was made with a different stability configuration dialed in by me. His task was to fly and for me to evaluate his reaction to increasingly unstable conditions. As George lined up the B-26 on Runway 04 one could see the beautiful blue waters of the Patuxent River beyond the end of the 10,000-foot runway. When the aircraft had descended to about 50 feet and was ready to be flared for landing I told him I had the airplane and simultaneously disconnected the variable stability system. After clicking off the VSS I raised the landing gear and applied go-around power to both engines. For a few seconds increased power was felt but then the left engine sputtered and completely lost power. The emergency response for such a failure is to immediately “feather” the propeller on the affected engine. The purpose for feathering is to align the propeller blades into the wind stream. This action provides minimum drag from the failed engine. The aircraft would then be more controllable with thrust from the “good” running engine. However, just as I was reaching for the left feathering button the right engine started losing power and it also completely failed. There was insufficient runway remaining to attempt a so called “dead stick” landing (terminology indicating a landing without power). Plus the landing gear was in the process of retracting into the wheel wells and there was little time to reverse the process and lower the gear back down. My next alternative was to make a belly landing in the waters of the Patuxent River straight ahead. 1. 04/22 refers to the direction of the runway heading. 04 means 040 or 40 degrees from magnetic north; and, 22 means 220, or that number of degrees from magnetic north.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The astronaut crime that shocked the world Star Crossed transports readers to the moment the news broke that one of America’s heroes, an astronaut who had flown aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery& just months before, had been arrested for a very bizarre crime. Lisa Nowak had driven 900 miles from Houston to Orlando to intercept and confront her romantic rival in an airport parking lot—allegedly using diapers on the trip so she wouldn’t have to stop. Nowak had been dating astronaut William “Billy” Oefelein when she learned that Oefelein was seeing a new girlfriend—U.S. Air Force Captain Colleen Shipman. The “astronaut love triangle” scandal quickly made headlines. The world watched as Nowak was dismissed from NASA, pleaded guilty to a felony, and received an “other than honorable” military discharge. An award-winning investigative reporter who covered Nowak’s criminal case, Kimberly Moore offers behind-the-scenes insights into Nowak’s childhood, her rigorous training, and her mission to space. Moore ventures inside the mind of the detective who studied the actions Nowak took that fateful February night. She includes never-before-told details of Nowak’s psychiatric diagnosis, taking a serious look at how someone so accomplished could spiral into mental illness to the point of possible attempted murder. This book spotlights the often-overlooked psychological health of astronauts, exploring how they are cared for by NASA doctors and what changes have been made in recent years to support space travelers on long-term missions. Expertly told, Moore’s story is a riveting journey inside the high-pressure world of one of America’s most elite agencies and the life of one beleaguered astronaut.

Book excerpt: Discover the daring life story and astonishing adventures of Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown - Britain's greatest-ever pilot Small in stature but immense in reputation and talent, there was more to Eric 'Winkle' Brown than met the eye. From shooting down Luftwaffe bombers from the deck of a carrier in the Battle of the Atlantic and narrowly escaping death when his ship was torpedoed, to accumulating a never-to-be repeated litany of world records and firsts as a test pilot, his unparalleled flying career saw him take the controls of over four hundred different kinds of aircraft - more than any other pilot in history. A rival to Chuck Yeager and hero to Neil Armstrong, by the time of his appearance on Desert Island Discs' 1000th episode Winkle had become a legend in his own lifetime, and by his death, a national treasure. But despite his enormous fame, there have always been mysteries at the heart of Winkle's story. Now, drawing on previously unseen documents and unfettered access to Winkle's own personal archive, Paul Beaver uncovers the complex and enigmatic man behind the legend - the real story of Britain's greatest pilot. A story Winkle insisted could only be told after his death . . . ---------- 'Compelling, fascinating and frequently jaw-dropping.
