Taylor & Francis Ltd High G Flight
Book SynopsisThis book provides a unique, authoritative and detailed examination of the physiological and clinical consequences of human exposure to high G forces. Pilots of military fast jets, civilian aerobatic pilots and astronauts during the launch and re-entry phases of spaceflight are frequently and repetitively exposed to high G forces, for which the human body is not fundamentally designed. The book examines not only the nature of the high G environment, but the physiological effects of exposure to high G on the various systems of the human body. In particular, the susceptibility of the human cardiovascular system to high G is considered in detail, since G-Induced Loss of Consciousness (G-LOC) is a serious hazard for high G pilots. Additionally, the factors that influence tolerance to G and the emerging scientific evidence of physiological adaptation to high G are examined, as are the various countermeasures and techniques that have been developed over the years to protect pilots from the pTrade Review’This is the book we have all been waiting for. Dr Newman has skilfully provided a unified understanding of the current state of knowledge on human exposure to high G forces. Clearly written, the reader is taken from basic physics, through the mechanics of flight exposure, to current methods of G protection. Highly recommended.’ Michael Bagshaw, King’s College London and Cranfield University, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword, Lieutenant General (Dr) Thomas W. Travis; Preface.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Human Factors in Flight
Book SynopsisThe late Captain Frank H Hawkins FRAes, M Phil, was Human Factors Consultant to KLM, for whom he had flown for over 30 years as line captain and R & D pilot, designing the flight decks for all KLM aircraft from the Viscount to the Boeing 747. In this period he developed and applied his specialization in Human Factors. His perception of lack of knowledge of Human Factors and its disastrous consequences led him to initiate both an annual course on Human Factors in Transport Aircraft Operation at Loughborough and Aston Universities, and the KLM Human Factors Awareness Course (KHUFAC). A consultant member of SAE S-7 committee, he was also a member of the Human Factors Society and a Liveryman of the Guild of Air Pilots. He was keynote speaker at the ICAO Human Factors Seminar held in St Petersburg, Russia in April 1990. About the Editor The late Captain Harry W Orlady was an Aviation Human Factors Consultant and a former Senior Research Scientist for the Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS); he also worked with NASA/Ames, with private research firms and the FAA in its certification of the Boeing 747-400 and the McDonnell-Douglas MK-11. As a pilot with United Airlines he flew 10 types of aircraft ranging from the DC-3 to the Boeing 747. He conducted studies in ground and flight training, Human Factors, aviation safety and aeromedical fields, and received several major awards and presented nearly 100 papers or lectures. He was an elected fellow of the Aerospace Medical Association; a member of the Human Factors Society, of ICE Flight Safety and Human Factors Study Group, and the SAE Human Behavioural Technology and G-10 Committees.Trade Review'An outstanding job of presenting much needed information in a highly readable style...'

Cambridge University Press Internal Flow Concepts and Applications 3 Cambridge Engine Technology Series Series Number 3
Book SynopsisThis book describes the analysis and behaviour of internal flows encountered in propulsion systems, fluid machinery (compressors, turbines and pumps) and ducts (diffusers, nozzles and combustion chambers). The focus is on phenomena that are important in setting the performance of a broad range of fluid devices. The authors show that even for complex processes one can learn a great deal about the behaviour of such devices from a clear understanding and rigorous use of basic principles. Throughout the book they illustrate theoretical principles by reference to technological applications. The strong emphasis on fundamentals, however, means that the ideas presented can be applied beyond internal flow to other types of fluid motion. The book equips students and practising engineers with a range of new analytical tools. These tools offer enhanced interpretation and application of both experimental measurements and the computational procedures that characterize modern fluids engineering.Trade Review'… this book is a refreshing experience … the distinct perspective that the authors bring to the subject will be appreciated by all readers. … the book is a must for all graduate students and will appeal to researchers entering the field of turbomachinery. It will serve well students on courses where the subject is taught. The book, due to its clear presentation of fundamentals and the key examples from applications, may also be of instructional value to students on general fluid mechanics courses.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics'This book provides an authoritative compilation of knowledge relating to internal flows … The book is well and clearly written with clear derivation of the equations … the overall impression of this book is of a thorough presentation, carefully written and illustrated, and providing a very good starting point for the exploration of questions relating to internal flows.'

Cambridge University Press Spacecraft Trajectory Optimization 29 Cambridge Aerospace Series Series Number 29
Book SynopsisThis is a long-overdue volume dedicated to space trajectory optimization. Interest in the subject has grown, as space missions of increasing levels of sophistication, complexity, and scientific return - hardly imaginable in the 1960s - have been designed and flown. Although the basic tools of optimization theory remain an accepted canon, there has been a revolution in the manner in which they are applied and in the development of numerical optimization. This volume purposely includes a variety of both analytical and numerical approaches to trajectory optimization. The choice of authors has been guided by the editor's intention to assemble the most expert and active researchers in the various specialities presented. The authors were given considerable freedom to choose their subjects, and although this may yield a somewhat eclectic volume, it also yields chapters written with palpable enthusiasm and relevance to contemporary problems.Table of Contents1.
