The Air Transport System by Mike Hirst

The Air Transport System by Mike Hirst

Major operational elements of the world's air transport system are examined in this important book, which provides a rare overview and an invaluable single information source to managers in all sectors of the air transport industry. "The Air Transport System" considers route structure options in terms of operational impacts and describes the context and boundaries of the industry - the natural, regulatory and operational environments. Systems perspectives are introduced to integrate the discussion of aircraft, airlines, airports, and airspace issues. The issues faced in ensuring symbiosis of all these elements of the changing scene and the scope for developing balanced strategies to suit all stakeholder requirements are considered in depth to produce a comprehensive text with the potential to influence how well the air transport industry succeeds in meeting its many future challenges.

Indian launch vehicles info

Indian launch vehicles info 

Launch Vehicles are used to transport and put satellites or spacecrafts into space. In India, the launch vehicles development programme began in the early 1970s. The first experimental Satellite Launch Vehicle (SLV-3) was developed in 1980. An Augmented version of this, ASLV, was launched successfully in 1992. India has made tremendous strides in launch vehicle technology to achieve self-reliance in satellite launch vehicle programme with the operationalisation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) and Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV).

PSLV represents ISRO's first attempt to design and develop an operational vehicle that can be used to orbit application satellites. While SLV-3 secured for India a place in the community of space-faring nations, the ASLV provided the rites of passage into launch vehicle technology for ISRO. And with PSLV, a new world-class vehicle has arrived. PSLV has repeatedly proved its reliability and versatility by launching 63satellites / spacecrafts ( 28 Indian and 35 Foreign Satellites) into a variety of orbits so far.

ISRO also makes the Rohini series of sounding rockets used by the Indian and international scientific community to launch payloads to various altitudes for atmospheric research and other scientific investigations. These rockets are also used to qualify some of the critical systems used for advanced launch vehicles

ISRO launch vehicles configration

Geopolitical and economic considerations during the 1960s and 1970s compelled India to initiate its own launch vehicle programme. During the first phase (1960s–1970s) the country successfully developed a sounding rockets programme, and by the 1980s, research had yielded the Satellite Launch Vehicle-3 and the more advanced Augmented Satellite Launch Vehicle (ASLV), complete with operational supporting infrastructure. ISRO further applied its energies to the advancement of launch vehicle technology resulting in the creation of Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) andGeosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) technologies.

The Jet engine by Rolls royce

The Jet engine by Rolls royce

The Jet Engine book has become a classic of its kind. We've kept its strengths and brought it bang up to date in both style and content. The book provides a complete, accessible description of the working and underlying principles of the gas turbine. Written by Rolls-Royce gas turbine engineers, it contains a wealth of detail and high-quality illustrations.

The book is aimed at engineers and engineering students - and, indeed, anyone interested in the detail of one of the most complex machines of our time; it covers everything from an introduction to the theory of jet propulsion to in-depth component definitions, from basic mechanics to maintenance and overhaul.

Mercury (The first of solar family )

Mercury (The first of solar family )
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest

Sun-scorched Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon. Like the Moon, Mercury has very little atmosphere to stop impacts, and it is covered with craters. Mercury's dayside is super-heated by the sun, but at night temperatures drop hundreds of degrees below freezing. Ice may even exist in craters. Mercury's egg-shaped orbit takes it around the sun every 88 days.
