The aim of this book is to design a High Altitude and Long Endurance (HALE) UAV after comparing and analyse the existing solar powered UAVs that has to be used in variety of applications as for military as well as commercial purposes. The aircraft design developed is a light and low drag flying wing configuration with solar cells as major power source.The Book includes the conceptual and detail design of the aircraft with stability, propulsion, performance, structural and fluid analysis, and also the fabrication of a prototype flying model for the demonstration and verification of the...

This book serves to contribute to a further understanding of our globe, and offers a number of insights into the field of geology through its use of various examples. As it shows, the Syrian outcrops present a highly diverse field for geologists, with their sedimentary and volcano-magmatic rocks and their fluid inclusions. Syria is located at the meeting point of Eurasian, African, and Arabic plates, and, consequently, it is underlain by an active global structure, the Dead Sea Fault Zone (DSFZ), also known as the Levant fault, making this area of even further interest for the geologist.
