Quest for Performance: The Evolution of Modern Aircraft
ISBN: 9781503105027 / Angielski / Miękka / 564 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. More than 75 years have passed since the Wright brothers' historic first flight of a powered, heavier-than-air aircraft at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. During this relatively brief period, the airplane has developed from a useless freak to a highly significant force in modern society. The transformation of the airplane during this period must be ranked as one of the great engineering accomplishments of all time. The magnitude of the achievement is emphasized by the nature of the vehicle and the rigorous requirements for precise design of every element. In no other type of...

Wilbur & Orville Wright: A Bibliography Commemorating the One-Hundredth Anniversary of the First Powered Flight- December 17, 1903
ISBN: 9781503336582 / Angielski / Miękka / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The publication of this revised and updated edition of the classic, Wilbur & Orville Wright: A Bibliography Commemorating the Hundredth Anniversary of the Birth of Wilbur Wright, April 16, 1867, is an event worth celebrating. I have three copies of the 1968 Library of Congress original: one within easy reach at home, one within easy reach at work, and a third copy squirreled away just in case one of the other two goes missing. All three copies are dog-eared and literally coming apart at the seams. Few books in my library have seen more use over the years. It is fitting to open this new...

A revolutionary commercial propeller transport, the Lockheed Constellation burst on the aviation scene in the early 1940s.

First flown on the last day of 1968--ahead of the Concorde--the Tu-144 had to undergo a long gestation period before the production version entered service in November 1977. Unfortunately, its...
