Languages : en
Pages : 212
Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Aviation: Including Construction and Operation It seems to be generally understood that the real value of a textbooks foreword is measured by its helpfulness to the reader in explaining how the volume may be studied to best advantage. Almost without exception, what is said here in front is supplementary and of a postscript nature, for, paradoxically, the foreword is written after the manuscript has been completed. Seeking to play the game according to the rules, I am forced to two conclusions: First, that I have little to say on the grouping of subjects and, secondly, that the typographical arrangement requires some explanation perhaps even justification. I will dismiss the first by noting merely that the analysis, in skeleton form, which precedes each chapter is intended as a guide, aiding dissection of the subject into easily remembered parts. These pages are in many ways comparable to the instructors preliminary talk or a blackboard outline before the class takes up co-related subjects in detail. To explain, or justify, if you choose, the typographical appearance of the pages, necessitates striking the personal note for a minute. The idea had its origin in an informal talk with a noncommissioned officer who was among the students of an aviation ground school class which I conducted at the outbreak of the war. By accident, his notebook came to my hands. It was amazingly comprehensive, covering by diagram and data an entire series of lectures. When I commended the student for its compilation he voiced typically youthful impatience with its limitations. I try to jot down each important thing you say, Sir, he complained, but I cant seem to get them verbatim. The diagrams I copy from the blackboard; that is easy. I am never satisfied with my notes, though, because its so hard to distinguish the vital thing to remember as you go along. Now if I could get everything word for word and devise some system of marking so I could record the relative emphasis of your voice well, Id call that a real notebook. That ended the episode. But in it was born the idea which forms the basis of this book. By typographical arrangement I have presented military aviation as it has been taught in the class room. The diagrams are those which have proven most valuable on the blackboard; photographs were chosen from among those projected on a screen by balopticon. Supporting text explanation of the illustrations has been arranged so the reader is never required to turn the page to apply its teachings each page is a brief blackboard talk or illustrated lecture, so to speak. For valuation of the importance of statements I have used relative sizes and boldness of type. Thus the volume appears as a series of condensed statements, presented in a form at variance with usual typographical arrangements, but, I hope, an exceedingly useful one.

Aviation Project Management
Author: Triant G. Flouris
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317176626
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Combining the considerable respective expertise of Triant Flouris and Dennis Lock, this unique book highlights the ways that successful businesses are managed in the aviation industry through the identification and application of proven project management methods. Theoretical concepts are defined, clarified and shown how they can be valuable to business managers and students of the aviation business sector. Aviation Project Management builds on the successful and popular work of Dennis Lock but is considerably enhanced by applications, examples, illustrations and case examples pertaining to projects exclusively from the aviation industry. Theory in the project management field is already well evolved, so the purpose of this book is not to review that theory but rather to demonstrate how the lessons of theory can be of practical use to aviation students and business managers. It provides a practical guide to those interested in how projects are managed and the common mistakes that aviation project managers should avoid.

British Fighter Aircraft in World War I
Author: Mark C. Wilkins
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1612008828
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
A vivid pictorial history: “Buy this book right now. It is rare that ISD gives an instant five-star rating to any new volume, but [this] is a rare book.” —Indy Squadron Dispatch World War I witnessed unprecedented growth and innovation in aircraft design, construction, and—as the war progressed—mass production. Each country generated its own innovations, sometimes in surprising ways—Albatros Fokker, Pfalz, and Junkers in Germany and Nieuport, Spad, Sopwith, and Bristol in France and Britain. This book focuses on the British approach to fighter design, construction, and mass production. Initially the French led the way in Allied fighter development with their Bleriot trainers, then nimble Nieuport Scouts—culminating with the powerful, fast gun platforms as exemplified by the Spads. The Spads had a major drawback however, in that they were difficult and counterintuitive to fix in the field. The British developed fighters in a very different way; Tommy Sopwith had a distinctive approach to fighter design that relied on lightly loaded wings and simple functional box-girder fuselages. His Camel was revolutionary as it combined all the weight well forward, enabling the Camel to turn very quickly—but also making it an unforgiving fighter for the inexperienced. The Royal Aircraft Factory’s SE5a represented another leap forward with its comfortable cockpit, modern instrumentation, and inline engine—clearly influenced by both Spads and German aircraft. Each manufacturer and design team vied for the upper hand and deftly and quickly appropriated good ideas from other companies—be they friend or foe. Developments in tactics and deployment also influenced design—from the early reconnaissance planes, to turn fighters, and finally planes that relied upon formation tactics, speed, and firepower. This book tells their story through extensive photos and accompanying text. “Handy not only as an aircraft model reference, but also as great reading for all history fans.” —DetailScaleView “Sidebars add important information at the proper place.” —Air Power History
