Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Relativistische Effekte bei der
Book SynopsisTobias Schüttler stellt in diesem essential beide im Detail sehr anspruchsvollen Gebiete – Einsteins berühmte Relativitätstheorie und die Satellitenortung mit GPS und Galileo – in allgemein verständlicher Weise dar und erklärt die Einflüsse der Relativitätstheorie bei der Satellitennavigation ohne höhere Mathematik. Es werden auch die zu dieser Betrachtung wichtigen Formeln genannt und motiviert. Um die Einflüsse der Relativitätstheorie auf ein Satellitennavigationssystem wie das europäische Galileo zu verstehen, muss man sich mit dem konkreten Messvorgang bei der Ortung auseinandersetzen. Die Grundidee des Verfahrens ist einfach – die technische Umsetzung indes höchst komplex.Table of ContentsWie funktioniert Satellitennavigation?.- Was hat Einstein mit Satellitennavigation zu tun?.- Alles etwas genauer betrachtet.- Relativistische Korrekturen bei GPS und Galileo.- Ausblick: Die Galileo-Satelliten Doresa und Milena.

Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden Variable Pitot-Triebwerkseinlässe für
Book SynopsisIn diesem Open-Access-Buch wird gezeigt, wie kommerzielle Überschallflugzeuge die Nachfrage nach einem schnellen, flexiblen und sicheren Transportmittel erfüllen könnten, wenn sie im Vergleich zu früheren Anwendungen eine höhere Nachhaltigkeit durch einen verringerten Kraftstoffverbrauch bieten würden. Dazu könnte eine Luftwiderstandsreduktion ihrer Triebwerke durch die Verwendung variabler Pitot-Einlässe beitragen. Diese finden in der gegenwärtigen reinen Unterschallluftfahrt keine Anwendung, da deren erhöhte Masse sowie die eingeschränkte Zuverlässigkeit und Sicherheit das vorhandene aerodynamische Einsparpotenzial überwiegen. Daher untersucht Stefan Kazula, ob variable Pitot-Einlässe für den Überschallbetrieb bis Mach 1,6 konstruktiv umsetzbar sind, die luftfahrtspezifischen Standards für Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit erfüllen können und dabei eine Verbesserung der Nachhaltigkeit ermöglichen. Hierfür wird der Stand der Technik zu variablen Pitot-Einlässen sowie zur Konstruktionsmethodik dargestellt. Zudem wird der zugrundeliegende Konstruktionsansatz zur Erarbeitung eines sicheren und zuverlässigen Konzepts sowie seine Umsetzung vorgestellt.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Industrial Aviation Management: A Primer in
Book SynopsisThis book outlines the structure and activities of companies in the European aviation industry. The focus is on the design, production and maintenance of components, assemblies, engines and the aircraft itself. In contrast to other industries, the technical aviation industry is subject to many specifics, since its activities are highly regulated by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), the National Aviation Authorities and by the aviation industry standard EN 9100. These regulations can influence the companies’ organization, personnel qualification, quality management systems, as well as the provision of products and services. This book gives the reader a deeper, up-to-date insight into today's quality and safety requirements for the modern aviation industry. Aviation-specific interfaces and procedures are looked at from both the aviation legislation standpoint as well as from a practical operational perspective.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Authorities and Organizations.- Regulations and Certifications.- Design and Development.- Maintenance Management.- Production Management and Support.- Production.- Maintenance.- Supply Chain Management.- Human Resource and Qualification.- Quality and Safety Management.

AS Verlag Swiss Air: A day by day documentation
Book SynopsisThis account of Swissair's day-by-day history will serve as the basis of any future exploration of Switzerland's former national carrier, from its founding right up to the grounding of the fleet and ultimate demise of the company. Documented here is every significant corporate decision, along with previously little-known background information, a comprehensive overview of operational incidents, the airline's route network over seven decades, the countries Swissair served and types of aircraft it operated. In short, this book covers everything that made the legendary airline distinctive, in unprecedented scope. This new standard reference work records in precise detail and in easily comprehensible English both the history of civil aviation in Switzerland and the qualities that Swissair deemed important over its 70 years in existence. Rather than judge or assign blame, this book sticks strictly to the facts and figures that reflect the dedication of Swissair employees - from those in the cockpit and the cabin to those in marketing and technical services, both at home and abroad - to "their" airline, from the very early days right up until the final flight by a Swissair aircraft. In the process, the book injects new life into one of the most exciting chapters in the history of Swiss commerce.

Springer Structural Analysis: With Applications to
Book SynopsisThe authors and their colleagues developed this text over many years, teaching undergraduate and graduate courses in structural analysis courses at the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering of the Georgia Institute of Technology. The emphasis is on clarity and unity in the presentation of basic structural analysis concepts and methods. The equations of linear elasticity and basic constitutive behaviour of isotropic and composite materials are reviewed. The text focuses on the analysis of practical structural components including bars, beams and plates. Particular attention is devoted to the analysis of thin-walled beams under bending shearing and torsion. Advanced topics such as warping, non-uniform torsion, shear deformations, thermal effect and plastic deformations are addressed. A unified treatment of work and energy principles is provided that naturally leads to an examination of approximate analysis methods including an introduction to matrix and finite element methods. This teaching tool based on practical situations and thorough methodology should prove valuable to both lecturers and students of structural analysis in engineering worldwide. This is a textbook for teaching structural analysis of aerospace structures. It can be used for 3rd and 4th year students in aerospace engineering, as well as for 1st and 2nd year graduate students in aerospace and mechanical engineering.Trade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This textbook is based on courses given by both authors at Georgia, Tech and is aimed directly at the early years undergraduates. It succeeds admirably in meeting the students’ needs by including a plethora of set problems and worked examples. … Moreover the way is then open in later years to general weighted residual formulations and applications to nonlinear and non-self-adjoint problems which are powerful tools in modern numerical codes.” (G.

Lanasta Warplane Plus 01: A17 - The Complete History of
Book SynopsisThe Northrop Corporation offered the single engined Gamma 2F attack plane to the US Army Air Corps in October 1934. After modification work this type evolved into the highly innovative A-17 attack aircraft of which 110 aircraft were ordered. Northrop integrated all modern aircraft technologies of the day, such as all metal monocoque construction, two pitch propeller, flaps and dive brakes into the design, combined with forward firing machine guns fitted in the wings, a respectable bomb load, high speeds and admirable flying range. It eclipsed all other attack types then in service. This book offers an overview of an iconic aeroplane. The authors, all specialists in their field, have compiled a comprehensive story and gathered more than 350 photographs, colour profiles and maps, thus offering a fascinating view at an aircraft type linking the ‘Golden Age of aviation’ days with the dark years of World War Two.

United Nations European Global Navigation Satellite System and
Book SynopsisThis report investigates how European Union space technologies support the fulfilment of the SDGs. It has been jointly prepared by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA) - in charge of promoting international cooperation in the peaceful use and exploration of space, and in the utilization of space science and technology for sustainable economic and social development - and the European GNSS Agency (GSA), which is the European Union agency operating EGNOS and Galileo and is in charge of ensuring the maximization of socioeconomic benefits from the use of the European Union satellite navigation systems. The analysis shows that all the SDGs are positively impacted by the benefits stemming from the use of European Global Navigation Satellite Systems (EGNSS) and Copernicus applications and, out of the 169 indicators associated, 65 (almost 40 per cent) directly benefit from using the EGNSS and Copernicus services, either helping monitor the status of achievement of a given SDG or actively contributing to its fulfilment

Lanasta The Legendary Douglas DC-3: A Pictorial Tribute
Book SynopsisFollowing on from the epoch-making DC-2 technology, the DC-3 is generally considered the greatest single commercial transport plane in history, and certainly the most famous. Indeed, the DC-3 revolutionized air travel to an extent not equaled until the arrival of the jet age. Many of these revolutions related to safety; thanks to the DC-3’s reputation for reliability, air travel insurance finally became available to the general public in 1937. This is the airliner that not only made flying respectable but enabled the emerging aviation industry to end its reliance on mail subsidies and profit from passenger journeys. DC-3 is still flying eight decades after their first debut - this book is a tribute to its brilliant design.Trade Review'... een zeer kleurrijk boek. (...) Het boek is een prachtig eerbetoon en een mooie momentopname van wat er op dit moment op de wereld nog te zien is van dit ontwerp van voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog.' – De Vliegende Hollander
