Unidentified phenomena in space, in the Earth’s atmosphere, and in waters are too important to leave their exploration to the military and scientific laypersons. Their proper scientific study is important for a variety of reasons; in particular, scientists and the public at large need to know the basic facts, to be informed about the way evidence is recorded, and to understand the difference been reliable evidence and fiction, as well as between plausible explanations and fantasy.

Unsettled Topics in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Icing


Free Download Richard Hann, Tor A Johansen, "Unsettled Topics in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Icing"
English | 2020 | pages: 32 | ISBN: 1468601695 | PDF | 1,5 mb
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are an emerging technology with a large variety of commercial and military applications. In-flight icing occurs during flight in supercooled clouds or freezing precipitation and is a potential hazard to all aircraft. In-flight icing on UAVs imposes a major limitation on the operational envelope. This report describes the unsettled topics related to UAV icing. First, typical UAV applications and the general hazards of icing are described. Second, an overview of the special technical characteristics of icing on autonomous and unmanned aircraft is given. Third, the operational challenges for flight in icing conditions are discussed. Fourth, technologies for ice protection that mitigate the icing hazard are introduced. Fifth, the tools and methods required to understand UAV icing and to develop aircraft with cold-weather capabilities are presented. Finally, an assessment of the current and future regulations regarding icing on UAVs is provided.

Free Download Charles Woolley – First to the Front: The Aerial Adventures of 1st Lt.Waldo Heinrichs and the 95th Aero Squadron 1917-1918
Schiffer Publishing | 2004 | ISBN: 0764307495 | English | 245 pages | PDF | 144.37 MB
The 95th Aero Squadron was the first American pursuit squadron to fly over the front in March 1918 and 1st Lt. Waldo Heinrichs was one of its original members. The history of the Squadron is told through the words of those who served, Heinrichs’ richly written diary forms the nucleus of the story supported by contemporary letters, anecdotes, and combat reports from many of the other flyers. Entries from the official Squadron history as contained in the History of the American Air Services A.E.F. (the Gorrell History) round out the narrative. Over 280 photos, most unpublished from the personal albums of the participants, show planes, places and personnel which surrounded this happy band of warriors.

Free Download Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Applications: Challenges and Trends
English | 2023 | ISBN: 3031320360 | 690 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 92 MB
The book is divided into 13 chapters, grouped into four parts. The first part discusses the design and development of UAVs, including ROS customization, structured designs, and intelligent trajectory tracking. The second part explores diverse applications such as search and rescue, monitoring distributed parameter systems, and leveraging drone technology in accounting. The third part focuses on security and communication challenges, including security concerns, multi-UAV systems, and communications security. The final part delves into the legal and regulatory challenges of integrating UAVs into non-segregated airspace.

To Ride the Mountain Winds A History of Aerial Mountaineering and Rescue


Free Download Leslie Symons, "To Ride the Mountain Winds: A History of Aerial Mountaineering and Rescue"
English | ISBN: 1908737417 | 2014 | 368 pages | EPUB | 11 MB
To Ride the Mountain Winds, the first comprehensive history of aerial mountaineering, is written for everyone interested in the history of mountaineering and also those interested in the history of aviation, and the limits to which pilots have pushed their machines and their skills. This should include not only climbers and flyers but also those airline passengers who, while sipping a gin and tonic in the luxury of a modern airliner, far above the shining snows, have paused to wonder what might happen if their jet-propelled magic carpet were forced suddenly to descend among them. Few will have pondered the connections between the histories of mountaineers and aviators, but their interaction is almost as old as either.
