La vie d'Adrienne Bolland est un roman, mais aucun roman ne peut restituer sa vie foisonnante et pleine de mystères.Coline Béry vous raconte son histoire sur Youtube, dans la websérie Faits Div'Air: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ex5ZQKyLWs, et dans ce livre, elle a reconstitué son "agenda de vie" de star. Une star qui a côtoyé beaucoup d'autres stars et qui nous plonge dans le siècle qui a vu naître le cinéma et l'aviation. Adrienne Bolland est le fruit de ces deux techniques qui ont bouleversé l'histoire des Hommes, elle a également permis aux femmes de devenir plus libres et plus conscientes de leur rôle.Les archives réunies dans ce volume comprennent des récits narratifs, des chronologies, des interviews inédites, des récits de personnes anonymes qui n'avaient jamais été publiés, tous les points de repères qui permettent de savourer la trajectoire de cette héroïne marquante et singulière.Le livre comprend: Le Matricule des Oiseaux, ou l'histoire enfin révélée de ses deux avions Caudron G.3 pilotés tous deux en Amérique du Sud de 1920 à 1923, et qui sont devenus légendairement célèbres grâce à leur pilote.

An essential introduction to the surprisingly long history of the electric car, from the early pioneers, through to the first commercially viable models such as Tesla.The electric car now stands center-stage in the motoring industry as we seek to reverse climate change by eradicating petrol and diesel cars. Yet, battery powered vehicles date back nearly 200 years and predate the development of the internal combustion engine by several decades. In the early Edwardian era electric cars were a strong contender to become the dominant form of transport, but their range and speed were limited and petrol-fueled cars rapidly eclipsed them. However, since the 1970s there has been an effort to revive the electric car market, and with the recent arrival of the Nissan Leaf and subsequent models in development, the electric car is at last set to take the lead.This beautifully illustrated introduction traces the history of the electric car from the early nineteenth century up to the burgeoning market of the early twenty-first century.

One of the greatest drivers of his generation, Jim Hall is even better known as an innovator. From his tiny shop in Midland, Texas emerged a series of Chaparrals that changed the face of racing. Here he tells his story - his life, his cars, his relationship with Chevrolet, his battles with sanctioning body bureaucracies - for the first time.

Provides a concise historical survey, including technical specifications, drawings, and photographs of every type of helicopter and V/STOL aircraft developed for the US military, from the earliest examples tested in 1941 and 1942, up to the newest prototypes.

Aircraft are mainly bought by two groups of buyers:1. Airlines for their own use2. Operating lessors for onward leasing to airlinesBoth groups of buyers require substantial external funding, both debt and equity, to accommodate these purchases.Historically five key sources have funded the aviation industry:1. bank debt (secured and unsecured)2. export credit agency guaranteed debt (secured)3. capital markets (secured and unsecured bonds; equity and debt solutions)4. internal cash flow generation5. tax based leasing products This is the leading text providing guidance on all the funding options available, the best way to secure funding and how to ensure that robust legal structures framing the commercial deal are in place. The book is divided into four core sections:Part A: Market Context which sets the scene giving the user market context and an overview of aircraft financingPart B: Transaction structuring which looks at the credit, the asset, the legal structuring and tax driversPart C: Core Products and Regional Markets (Brazil, Russia, India, China, France, Germany, Spain and Japan) Part D: Regulatory Matters including accounting developmentsKey updates for the new Fifth Edition include: - New chapters on:- The environment- Restructuring- Compliance- GATS (Global Aircrafts Trading Systems (GATS)- Full explanation and analysis of recent regulatory changes including changes brought about by Basel IVDue to the complexities involved in this area and the need to ensure that any commercial deal is legally sound Aircraft Financing is the essential reference tool for anyone involved in aircraft financing transactions.This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Banking and Finance Law online service.

The NB-52A 52-0003 and its sister ship, the NB-52B 52-0008 were diverted to the special mission of launching the X-15 hypersonic research airplane in 1958 following their service as early test examples of the B-52 Stratofortress. While the two Stratofortresses were engaged in the task of launching the three X-15 rocket planes, a series of rocket powered lifting bodies were developed that utilized the existing air launch capability. The NB-52A was a flying launch pad, which is a highly complex task. It had to supply the rocket planes that it carried with the propellants, gases, and power normally associated with a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, all while flying nine miles above the ground. This ability made the airplane an indispensable asset for aeronautical research. Its right wing was reinforced and equipped with a pylon to carry the heaviest wing-borne payloads ever dropped from an airplane. Some of the payloads that it dropped exceeded 50,000 pounds, nearly 1/5 of its own weight. The X-15 rocket planes launched by this Stratofortress carried pilots to unprecedented speeds and altitudes. They were the first winged vehicles to reach speeds of Mach-4, Mach-5, and Mach-6. They were also the first winged vehicles to exceed 130,000 feet altitude, eventually reaching over 364,000 feet, high above nearly all the Earth's atmosphere. Five pilots qualified for astronaut's wings by exceeding an altitude of fifty miles in the X-15s. Tragically, one of those astronauts was killed on his qualifying flight when the third X-15 broke up as it re-entered the atmosphere. Later in the career of the NB-52A, the X-15s were joined by a trio of heavyweight lifting bodies. The Northrop M2-F2 and HL-10 and the Martin Marietta X-24A were wingless, rocket-powered research vehicles that evaluated potential configurations of future orbital spacecraft, concentrating on the later stages of re-entry and landing. They established the feasibility of gliding to a landing in a spacecraft with a low glide ratio, the method utilized by the Rockwell Space Shuttle.

Railways: Their Life & Times sets out to be an evocation of the world of railways over more than a century - the achievements and the failures, the impressive and the quirky, the big picture and the minutiae.Steam in the railway age; the evolution of different gauges; the role of railways in two world wars; the battles to retain passenger business; the saga of railways in Russia; dangers on the rails; the enemies and critics of railways - these are among the subjects in this wide-ranging book. Plus profiles of 11 national rail systems, and all interspersed with railroad miscellany and fact panels from station densities to concession fares on Italian trains to the spread of electrification.The author, Robin Bromby, has been writing and publishing railway books for 40 years and has been a founder of two rail magazines.

Before the United States entered World War II, the Army Air Corps conceptualized a large aircraft engine for which fuel efficiency was the paramount concern. It was believed that such an engine could power bombers from North America to attack targets in Europe, a tactic that would be needed if the United Kingdom were to fall. This engine project was known as MX-232, and Studebaker was tasked with its development. After years of testing and development, the MX-232 program produced the Studebaker XH-9350 engine design. Although a complete XH-9350 engine was not built, Studebaker's XH-9350 and Their Involvement with Other Aircraft Engines details the development of the MX-232 program and the XH-9350 design. In addition, the book covers Studebaker's work with other aircraft engines: the power plant for the Waterman Arrowbile, their licensed production of the Wright R-1820 radial engine during World War II, and their licensed production of the General Electric J47 jet engine during the Korean War.
