American X-Vehicles: An Inventory X-1 to X-50 Centennial of Flight Edition
ISBN: 9781478233589 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For a while, it seemed the series of experimental aircraft sponsored by the U.S. government had run its course. Between the late 1940s and the late 1970s, almost thirty designations had been allocated to aircraft meant to explore new flight regimes or untried technologies. Then, largely, it ended. But there was a resurgence in the mid- to late- 1990s, and as we enter the fourth year of the new millennia, the designations are up to X-50.

The program to land an American on the Moon and return safely to Earth in the 1960s has been called by some observers a defining event of the twentieth century, Pulitzer Prize-winning history Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. even suggested that when Americans two centuries hence study the twentieth century, they will view the Apollo lunar landing as the critical event of the century.

Case Studies in Strategic Bombardment
ISBN: 9781478234289 / Angielski / Miękka / 680 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This volume, the third in a series of historical case studies of important air power missions, addresses the most controversial air power mission of all- strategic bombardment. The ability of aircraft and missiles to destroy or disrupt an enemy's war-making potential and to break or weaken his will to resist, independent of the actions of ground and naval forces, has served as the central theme of air power theory and as the rallying point of air advocates.

A History of Suction-Type Laminar - Flow Control with Emphasis on Flight Research
ISBN: 9781478239536 / Angielski / Miękka / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Laminar-flow control is an area of aeronautical research that has a long history at NASA's Langley Research Center, Dryden Flight Research Center, their predecessor organizations, and elsewhere. In this monograph, Albert L. Braslow, who spent much of his career at Langley working with this research, presents a history of that portion of laminar-flow technology known as active laminar-flow control, which employs suction of a small quantity of air through airplane surfaces. This important technique offers the potential for significant reduction in drag and, thereby, for large increases in range...

Toward Mach 2: The Douglas D-558 Program
ISBN: 9781478266709 / Angielski / Miękka / 174 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Douglas D-558-1 Skystreak and D-558-2 Skyrocket were, with the Bell XS-1, the earliest transonic research aircraft built in this country to gather data so the aviation community could understand what was happening when aircraft approached the speed of sound (roughly 741 miles per hour at sea level in dry air at 32 degrees Fahrenheit). In the early 1940s, fighter (actually, in the terms of the time, pursuit) aircraft like the P-38 Lightning were approaching these speeds in dives and either could not get out of the dives before hitting the ground or were breaking apart from the effects of...

The war in Southeast Asia lasted for nine long years and proved to be the most controversial of all U.S. wars. This books presents five case studies conducted during that war involving three missions of air power - interdiction, close air support and strategic bombardment. A major purpose of this book is to pull together these previously classified studies under one cover, set to a central theme based on lessons learned (and relearned) in Southeast Asia.

Colonel Palmby's study not only serves as a primer for readers not intimately familiar with either outsourcing or the acquisition/manpower career fields, but also provides Air Force leadership and decision makers recommendations designed to help them resolve or prevent the numerous pitfalls that accompany the outsourcing process. Toward those ends, it provides background on the terminology, processes, and regulatory guidance used in outsourcing. It also reviews various forces that drive the Air Force toward outsourcing as a resource option and analyzes the advantages and disadvantages that...

The World Wide Military Command and Control System - Evolution and Effectiveness
ISBN: 9781478393191 / Angielski / Miękka / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The World Wide Military Command and Control System (WWMCCS) is constituted of four general types of elements: sensors, command posts, computers, and communications networks. Whereas previous books dealt mainly with the first two types, this book is concerned far more strongly with the second two. The same conditions that cleared the way for the establishment of WWMCCS and that permitted its subsequent growth simultaneously guaranteed that it would not be able to function effectively. We might conclude that WWMCCS was born to fail. This work documents how this interplay of organization,...
