Free Download Aircraft Carrier Victorious: Detailed in the Original Builders' Plans by David Hobbs
English | November 1, 2018 | ISBN: 1526737345 | 176 pages | EPUB | 5.91 Mb
The technical details of British warships were recorded in a set of plans produced by the builders on completion of every ship. Known as the "as fitted" general arrangements, these drawings represented the exact appearance and fitting of the ship as it entered service. Intended to provide a permanent reference for the Admiralty and the dockyards, these highly detailed plans were drawn with exquisite skill in multi-colored inks and washes that represent the acme of the draughtsman's art. HMS Victorious was a ship with two almost separate incarnations - as built in 1941 she was one of a new type of armored aircraft carrier which saw arduous wartime service; post-war the ship underwent a massive reconstruction lasting nearly eight years that saw her recommission in 1958 as one of the best equipped carriers in the world.

Free Download Mike Hooks - Fleet Air Arm Aircraft of World War 2: British-built types used by the Royal Navy (Aeroplane Collectors' Archive)
Kelsey Publishing Group | 2013 | ISBN: 1907426515 | English | 108 pages | PDF | 104.3 MB
This is the sixth edition of Aeroplane Collectors' Archive and we now look towards British-built aircraft of the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm - it is intended that American types used by the FAA will be included in a later volume. As before, we do not give full details of every type which have been covered in many books, but only basic data for each type. Once again, we bring you some of the fi nest images from the war years, supplemented by other illustrations from our archives along with period cutaway drawings where these are available. The archive includes some 40,000 fi ve-inch glass-plate negatives and around 50,000 35mm strips taken by The Aeroplane and Flight photographers - a large proportion of the archive dating from 1909 to the 1960s was gifted from Flight to The Aeroplane.

Free Download Aircraft Fatigue Management by Lorrie Molent
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 (2024 Edition) | 69 Pages | ISBN : 9819974674 | 12.1 MB
Fatigue occurs under cyclic loading and can significantly degrade the operational capability and safety of metallic aircraft components and structures. This book provides summaries of some metallic aircraft structural integrity issues, innovative but established examples of maintaining operational capability-airworthiness, and assessments of safe in-service fatigue lives. These topics are based on a through-life fatigue management philosophy that ensures safe and continued operation, including during life extensions that are almost inevitably required. This philosophy is underpinned by observations of the behaviour of fatigue cracks in actual structures subjected to realistic service loading conditions. The book includes topics like aircraft design requirements, individual aircraft fatigue loads monitoring, airframe fatigue testing, sources of fatigue-nucleating discontinuities, and prediction of fatigue crack growth from these discontinuities. All these aspects contribute to discussing methods of assuring the structural integrity and operational capability of realistically cracked structures. The book also discusses the exponential behaviour of lead or dominant cracks-those leading to first failure-and the practical significance of differences between fatigue fracture topographies produced under constant amplitude and variable amplitude loading. The book can be a valuable reference for researchers and professionals interested in aircraft fatigue management and allied fields.

English | 2011 | pages: 400 | ISBN: 0571247954, 0571247946 | EPUB | 1,5 mb
In 1945 Britain was the world's leading builder of jet aircraft and in the decade that followed, produced planes such as the Comet, Vulcan, Hawker Hunter and Lightning; but by the early 1960s aviation companies such as Avro and Vickers were either gone or struggling. This book fuses the author's memories of British aviation's heyday with tales of the legendary aircraft and test pilots and a rueful history of Britain's loss of self-confidence and power. Special illustrated edition.

Free Download Modelling German World War I Aircraft by Dave Hooper
English | October 19, 2021 | ISBN: 1785008846 | 160 pages | PDF (Converted) | 24 Mb
Suitable for both those starting out in this hobby and more experienced modellers alike, Modelling German World War I Aircraft is a one-stop guide to the creation of realistic models of German military aircraft of World War I. Examples of injection-moulded plastic, resin, vac-form, multi-media and limited-run plastic kits are included, as well as scratch-built enhancements. With over 300 colour photographs, this book includes: ·Useful historical background to provide context and achieve realistic effects ·How to choose the right kit ·A list of essential workshop tools and materials. There are step-by-step instructions for the creation of: ·A Fokker Eindecker in 1/48 ·An Albatros D-type in 1/32 ·Rumpler C-type in 1/32 and ·A Gotha G-type in 1/72. There is a chapter on how to achieve accurate colours and markings, including lozenge types, with paint, airbrushing and decals. Finally, special focus on fine details, such as rigging, engines, interiors and ordinance is given.

Free Download Air-to-Air Refuelling Aircraft (Modern Military Aircraft Series) by Chris Gibson
English | June 20, 2022 | ISBN: 1913870693 | 96 pages | EPUB | 3.24 Mb
Modern strategists talk about "force multipliers," and, for air operations, air-to-air refueling is without doubt the greatest force multiplier of all. In-flight refueling has allowed not only the longest bombing missions in history but also persistence in air defense, transport reach and flexibility in ground-attack tasks. Covering a range of refuelers - including the Boeing KC-97 and KC-135, Vickers Valiant, Handley Page Victor, Lockheed TriStar, Vickers VC10, McDonnell Douglas KC-10 and the Airbus MRTT Voyager - this book details the history of air-to-air refueling and celebrates the key role played by tanker aircraft in the application of air power around the world.
