Aircraft Sustainment and Repair is a one-stop-shop for
practitioners and researchers in the field of aircraft sustainment,
adhesively bonded aircraft joints, bonded composites repairs, and
the application of cold spray to military and civil aircraft.
Outlining the state-of-the-art in aircraft sustainment, this book
covers the use of quantitative fractography to determine the
in-service crack length versus flight hours curve, the effect of
intergranular cracking on structural integrity and the structural
significance of corrosion. The book additionally illustrates the
potential of composite repairs and SPD applications to metallic
airframes.
This new title from Bradt forms part of its distinctive 'Slow
Travel' series and is the only title available to cover the
Chilterns and Thames Valley in depth. The Chilterns and the Thames
Valley do not correspond to the specific boundaries of one county
or region, old or new. Bedfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire,
Hertfordshire and Oxfordshire all have a share. Divided into six
easily manageable sections, Bradt's The Chilterns and Thames Valley
lifts the lid on what makes this area so distinctive. Chalk
grasslands, beech woods, streams and wooded valleys provide a
perfect landscape for walking and are easily accessible from
London. About half of the area has been designated as an Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty - the closest such area to London. Rare
plants such as fleawort and numerous orchid varieties, and birds
including red kites, lapwings and skylark flourish. The Thames
Valley follows the route of one of the world's most famous rivers.
You can find key sites of monarchical and parliamentary power such
as Windsor Castle and Chequers, the location of Magna Carta's
sealing at Runnymede and the birthplaces of men and women who have
led dissent down the ages. A host of well-loved authors has lived
and written here, depicting Paradise, defining our childhoods and
painting timeless images of England and its people. Eminent chefs
own restaurants with national and sometimes international
reputations. In short, the Chilterns and the Thames Valley together
represent a wonderfully paradoxical mixture of world-famous tourist
sites and lesser-known attractions full of quirkiness and
character, which will repay the visitor's interest and attention
many times over. From Windsor Castle to Whipsnade Zoo, Britain's
oldest road - The Ridgeway - to National Trust properties such as
Cliveden and Waddesdon Manor, the Henley Regatta to the Grand Union
Canal, Bradt's The Chilterns and Thames Valley is the perfect
companion.
What do Mongolians smuggle on board the Trans-Siberian Express?
Where is Paradise and why is it cursed? How do you confuse a mugger
in Brazil? In TRAVELS WITH MENSANS, you can find out. You'll also
get an insider's perspective on what it feels like to sail a tall
ship around the Canaries, to be a guest at a family wedding in
Pakistan and to visit some of the world's most beautiful and
strangest places. This special collection of travel writing, by
members of the high IQ society Mensa, remembers bygone worlds and
considers the nature of travel memories, the pros and cons of
travelling alone and the effects of tourists on the places they
visit. TRAVELS WITH MENSANS -- travel writing to make you think.
