Make: High-Power Rockets is for all the science geeks who look at the moon and try to figure out where Neil Armstrong walked, watch in awe as rockets lift off, and want to fly their own model rockets. Starting with an overview of mid- and high-power rocketry, readers will start out making rockets with F and G engines, and move on up to H engines.
Wind Loading on Temporary Structures (Research Report S.)
Lift-curve Slope for Single Fin and Rudder (Aerodynamics, v. C.01.01.01)
Wind power penetration is rapidly increasing in today's energy generation industry. In particular, the doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG) has become a very popular option in wind farms, due to its cost advantage compared with fully rated converter-based systems. Wind farms are frequently located in remote areas, far from the bulk of electric power users, and require long transmission lines to connect to the grid. Series capacitive compensation of DFIG-based wind farm is an economical way to i...

Space Micropropulsion for Nanosatellites: Progress, Challenges and Future features the latest developments and progress, the challenges faced by different researchers, and insights on future micropropulsion systems. Nanosatellites, in particular cubesats, are an effective test bed for new technologies in outer space. However, most of the nanosatellites have no propulsion system, which subsequently limits their maneuverability in space.

Someone Is Hiding Something
by Richard Belzer, David Wayne, and George Noory
A year after the disappearance and commencement of the international search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, no sign of the plane has been found no debris, no bodies, no sign of the much-talked-about black box. Richard Belzer, George Noory, and David Wayne want to know why. Scrutinizing the theories the media and politicians claim are the "most likely" reasons the plane crashed, Belzer, Noory, and Wayne argue that if a year after a huge Boeing 777 has gone missing, and there's still no sign of...
This book provides a comprehensive, practical treatment of aerodynamics of supersonic intakes in both civil and military types of aircraft. The problems of both internal and external airflow are investigated. Simple mathematics are used only in analysis, and emphasis is placed on giving a physical picture of the flow, often with the aid of illustrations. The new edition takes account of the increase in computer based solutions of intake flow fields and correlates experimental work with result...
Aeroelastic Vibrations and Stability of Plates and Shells (De Gruyter Studies in Mathematical Physics, #25)
by Sergey D. Algazin and Igor A. Kijko
Back-action of aerodynamics onto structures such as wings cause vibrations and may resonantly couple to them, thus causing instabilities (flutter) and endangering the whole structure. By careful choices of geometry, materials and damping mechanisms, hazardous effects on wind engines, planes, turbines and cars can be avoided. Besides an introduction into the problem of flutter, new formulations of flutter problems are given as well as a treatise of supersonic flutter and of a whole range of mec...
