Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Casting Forward, naturalist, educator, and writer Steve Ramirez takes the reader on a yearlong journey fly fishing all of the major rivers of the Texas Hill Country. This is a story of the resilience of nature and the best of human nature. It is the story of a living, breathing place where the footprints of dinosaurs, conquistadors, and Comanches have mingled just beneath the clear spring-fed waters. This book is an impassioned plea for the survival of this landscape and its biodiversity, and for a new ethic in how we treat fish, nature, and each other.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A rotorcraft is a class of aircraft that uses large-diameter rotating wings to accomplish efficient vertical take-off and landing. The class encompasses helicopters of numerous configurations (single main rotor and tail rotor, tandem rotors, coaxial rotors), tilting proprotor aircraft, compound helicopters, and many other innovative configuration concepts. Aeromechanics covers much of what the rotorcraft engineer needs: performance, loads, vibration, stability, flight dynamics, and noise. These topics include many of the key performance attributes and the often-encountered problems in rotorcraft designs. This comprehensive book presents, in depth, what engineers need to know about modelling rotorcraft aeromechanics. The focus is on analysis, and calculated results are presented to illustrate analysis characteristics and rotor behaviour. The first third of the book is an introduction to rotorcraft aerodynamics, blade motion, and performance. The remainder of the book covers advanced topics in rotary wing aerodynamics and dynamics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Simons, a passionate model pilot and multiple book author about the basics of model flying and aerodynamics, describes in an entertaining way why and how models fly in his book "Modellflug-ABC". With his clear and easy to understand language, he succeeds in summarizing even complex topics. For both beginners and advanced pilots, "Model Aviation ABC" is a valuable aid to understanding when and why models fly well, and how to use this knowledge to expand and refine your own flying skills. From the Content: In "Model Aviation ABC" the basics of aerodynamics (without mathematical deepening) are explained in connection with model flying, e.g. to clarify the effect of control reactions. What is the effect of a symmetrical or a semi-symmetrical airfoil? What triggers a stall and how do you recover the model? What makes a model stable and how do I achieve high stability? What is the importance of the propeller? Many questions that arise in the everyday life of model pilots are answered in the "Model Aviation ABC" in an explanatory way. The goal is to know and understand aerodynamic processes to set up and fly models well. Over 100 drawings illustrate the processes described in the text and round off the basics taught in the "Model Aviation ABC".

Book excerpt: The X-29 was an unusual aircraft with a truly unique silhouette. It combined many features that challenged the technologies of its day and represented special problems for the developers and the team of testers responsible for documenting its features and design goals. This book is a look at the "big picture" of what this team accomplished in a relatively fast-paced test program involving the truly unique X-29.
