Electric Airplanes and Drones
Author: Kevin Desmond
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476669619
Category : Transportation
Languages : en
Pages : 315
Book Description
Attempts at electric powered flight date to well before the 19th century. Battery weight and low energy output made it impractical until the 1990s, when the advent of lightweight materials, more efficient solar power, improved engines and the Li-Po (lithium polymer) battery opened the skies to a wide variety of electric aircraft. The author describes the diverse designs of modern electric flying machines--from tiny insect-styled drones to stratospheric airships--and explores developing trends, including flying cars and passenger airliners.

Book Description
Wars between nations don’t start based on a single incident nor are they fought by just the combatants alone. Starting a war in the shadow of a nuclear umbrella is something that no responsible nation state will consider lightly. Yet, Pakistan has done it once in 1999 with India and its biggest ally China is virtually on the same path. Yet it has the sense to stop from pushing too hard and most such provocations fizzle out in time. But what happens if things don’t go as expected? Any wild card like a rogue general, a stronger than usual Indian response by a hawkish regime or any other factor can quickly escalate the minor border clashes to a full-fledged war leading to a nuclear exchange. This book explores these possibilities in two parts. The first one covers the incidents of statecraft, spycraft, provocations, terrorism and perception management which are more or less routine matters for most nations. The last few chapters cover a two-front war involving India on one side and Pakistan and China on the other and how it could go considering each side has nuclear weapons. The warfare has been described keeping current capabilities and ORBAT (Order Of Battle) of all sides in mind. It is of course not 100% accurate, but close enough for the purpose.

Four hundred years ago an alien menace attacked a peaceful US colony and sent humanity speeding down a new evolutionary path. Nine people survived, but they would never be the same. Their modified DNA was passed on to their descendants and meta-humans with superpowers were born. Now a reluctant hero is thrust into a collision course with the aliens as those changes threaten to end that path with an earth-shattering conclusion. After a violent plane crash, Wolff Kingsley finds himself surrounded by meta-humans, alien technology, and mind-bending foes. Unwillingly recruited as a member of Diamond Justice, Wolff faces an uncertain future and fears a return to his past. He struggles to understand his friendship with a remnant of alien technology known as Glip-2, his concern for a young girl with an interest in him, and his growing love for a mysterious meta-human woman who may be tied to the origin of the threat. After a strange storm terrorizes a major city, Wolff must decide whether he will help Diamond solve the centuries old mystery and save millions of innocent lives before time runs out or flee the people he has grown to care about.
