Alan J. Stolzer, Carl D. Halford, John J. Goglia - Safety Management Systems in Aviation
Publisher: Ashgate | 2008-10-01 | ISBN: 0754673049 | PDF | 322 pages | 5.79 MB

Although aviation is among the safest modes of transportation in the world today, accidents still happen. In order to further reduce accidents and improve safety, proactive approaches must be adopted by the aviation community. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has mandated that all of its member states implement Safety Management System (SMS) programs in their aviation industries. While some countries (Australia, Canada, members of the European Union, New Zealand) have been engaged in SMS for a few years, it's just now emerging in the United States, and is non-existent in most other countries.This timely and unique book covers the essential points of SMS. The knowledgeable authors go beyond merely defining it; they discuss the quality management underpinnings of SMS, the four pillars, risk management, reliability engineering, SMS implementation, and the scientific rigor that must be designed into proactive safety.This comprehensive work is designed as a textbook for the student of aviation safety, and is an invaluable reference tool for the SMS practitioner in any segment of aviation. The authors introduce a hypothetical airline-oriented safety scenario at the beginning of the book and conclude it at the end, engaging the reader and adding interest to the text. To enhance the practical application of the material, the book also features numerous SMS in Practice commentaries by some of the most respected names in aviation safety.

Gabriel Roy " Combustion Processes in Propulsion: Control, Noise, and Pulse Detonation "
Publisher: Butterworth-Heinemann | Pages: 480 | 2005-10-11 | ISBN 0123693942 | PDF | 25.2 MB


Chemical propulsion comprises the science and technology of using chemical reactions of any kind to create thrust and thereby propel a vehicle or object to a desired acceleration and speed. This book focuses on recent advances in the design of very highly efficient, low-pollution-emitting propulsion systems, as well as advances in testing, diagnostics and analysis. It offers unique coverage of Pulse Detonation Engines, which add tremendous power to jet thrust by combining high pressure with ignition of the air/fuel mixture. Readers will learn about the advances in the reduction of jet noise and toxic fuel emissions-something that is being heavily regulated by relevant government agencies.

* Lead editor is one of the world's foremost combustion researchers, with contributions from some of the world's leading researchers in combustion engineering
* Covers all major areas of chemical propulsion-from combustion measurement, analysis and simulation, to advanced control of combustion processes, to noise and emission control
* Includes important information on advanced technologies for reducing jet engine noise and hazardous fuel combustion emissions

The Anatomy of the Airplane, Second Edition

The Anatomy of the Airplane, Second Edition

Publisher AIAA | 460 pages | Date 2001 | ISBN: 1563472864 | PDF | 5.1 MB

The Anatomy of the Aeroplane was started in 1960 as a set of supplementary notes to the author’s annual lectures on Aero-Structures given at the Empire Test Pilots’ School, at Farnborough in Hampshire. The lectures were intended to give embryo test pilots an insight into the reasons for aircraft not being shaped in ways that fitted the often more elegant theories. In so doing the inherent capabilities and limitations of an aeroplane became more apparent. The capabilities and limitations were seen to be functions of specific requirements: those formalized statements of human needs that cause aircraft to be made as useful and as safe as possible within the ‘state-of-the-art’ at a given time. The seeming dichotomy of the two worlds of theory and practice — usually more apparent to the practical man than the academician — is resolved by looking at the development of an aircraft as a response to a set of requirements.
