The Authorised Biography

Adolf Galland

World Scientific Series On Emerging Technologies: Avram Bar-cohen Memorial Series

This book is designed for a one-semester elective course for aerospace engineering and mechanical engineering students focused on propeller-driven propulsion systems for small and micro unmanned aerial vehicles. The material presented is based on basic knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.The book introduces readers to the basic principles of propulsion systems, and their performance at different altitudes. It outlines the variety of possible alternative propulsion systems as reflected in the literature. The book includes 11 chapters devoted to altitude atmospheric conditions, general principles of generating thrust, propellers' performance, four- and two-stroke cycle engines, gas exchange and combustion processes in Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs), engines' testing, critical limitations of scaling down of ICEs, electric motors, batteries, and alternative energy storages.The book is rich in original well-designed diagrams and detailed equations development to ease understanding. Each chapter includes some comprehension questions, homework exercises, and selected major references for further reading.

SOAS Palestine Studies

"International civil aviation has been a powerful tool for the systemic disenfranchisement of Palestinian statehood, connectivity and mobility. Yet, Palestinians have creatively appropriated aviation technologies in diverse modes of resistance. Drawing on media studies, cultural studies, critical theory, diplomacy and history, Palestine in the Air examines civil aviation's political, social and cultural impact upon the Palestinian quest for sovereignty. Aviation is presented here as an unconventional weapon of resistance that has gained media exposure and has disrupted dominant narratives about Palestine. The book makes use of an unprecedented range of aviation-related sources and is the first cultural history of Palestinian aviation"--

The book focuses on ways to better manage and prevent aircraft-based homicide events using alternate technology to replace the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR) and/or Digital Flight Data Recorder (DFDR) functions. It expresses the need for real-time predictive maintenance and includes relevant accident case study excerpts (i.e. NTSB, AAIB).

History and Development of Airline Cabin Safety

'David Rooney is an expert storyteller with a big heart, capturing not only the perils faced by the intrepid airmen who attempted the flight, but also their humanity' JOHN LANCASTER, author of The Great Air Race Newfoundland, 1919. Buffeted by winds, an unwieldy aircraft - made mainly from wood and stiff linen - struggled to take off from the North American island's rocky slopes. Cramped side by side in its open cockpit were two men, freezing cold and barely able to move but resolute. They had a dream: to be the first in human history to fly, non-stop, across the Atlantic Ocean. But there were three other teams competing against them, and as the waves raged a few miles below, memories of wartime crashes resurfaced . . . It was just over six months since the 'War to End all Wars' had come to its close. Between them, the seven young aviators who would get off the ground for the transatlantic race had already defied death many times. Mining letters, diaries and evocative unpublished photographs, David Rooney's deeply researched account of the audacious contest shows how it was the airmen's thrilling wartime experiences that ultimately led them to the 'Big Hop', and brought old friends together for one more daring adventure. These Atlantic pioneers weren't scientists or stoical upper-class officers. They were ordinary, working men, risking their lives in the name of progress. Unjustly forgotten by history, they nonetheless paved the way for the Earharts and Lindberghs who came after - and ushered in the age of global connection in which we live now. A non-stop flight across the Atlantic might seem routine today; almost a chore. But it is only possible because of those who went first.
