The Early History of Ballooning - The Age of the Aeronaut
ISBN: 9781473320864 / Angielski / Miękka / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

When the Montgolfier brothers demonstrated the first hot air balloon in 1783 they ushered in 'the age of the aeronaut' an...

Human Factors Models for Aviation Accident Analysis and Prevention
ISBN: 9781472432759 / Angielski / Twarda / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The investigation and modelling of aviation accident causation is dominated by linear models. Aviation is, however, a complex system and as such suffers from being artificially manipulated into non-complex models and methods. This book addresses this issue by developing a new approach to investigating aviation accident causation through information networks. These networks centralise communication and the flow of information as key indicators of a system s health and risk. This holistic approach focuses on the system environment, the activity that takes place within it, the strategies used to...

The movie actually made me feel guilty for not having done what I was supposed to do a long time ago-namely-write about airplanes, flying, teaching aviation techniques, and basically having fun in the sky. There is only one reason... Untitled Document

North American T-28 Trojan Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions
ISBN: 9781940453415 / Angielski / Twarda / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Despite its training designation, the T-28 flew in a combat role, perhaps most famously during the Vietnam conflict where Trojans performed close air support and...
