This is the first book published on the 406th Fighter Group in WWII. There have been brief summaries in several 9th AF and P-47 histories, but nothing nearly as detailed as this. It is a story that has been neglected. World War II tactical aviation as you’ve never seen it before. 104 pages, 60 in color, 168 never-before-published photos, 118 color profiles. And if you thought you knew anything about the progression of markings on 406th FG P-47s during that year of combat in WWII, you were probably wrong, because most previously-published summaries are wrong. For example, after the Hasegawa P-47 kits came out in 1996 showing incorrect markings for 42-2680 L3-O “Angie” it was common to see in many publications the statement that “All 406th FG P-47s had their horizontal and vertical tails painted gloss black.” That simply never happened. Likewise, nearly every published 406th FG summary states that 406th FG P-47s initially appeared in standard ETO ID markings, then eventually got squadron-color nose bands, then full-painted squadron-color cowlings, and finally the definitive nose blaze late in the war. That too is wrong. And nearly every published drawing and decal sheet has the shape of those nose blazes wrong. Get the true story. If you are a serious modeler or WWII aviation historian, you must have this book!

The most exciting moment for an aeronautical engineer is when his or her design becomes a working aircraft, the endpoint of a journey that begins in the classroom. This textbook provides the resources that students need to understand the methods and thought processes involved in designing aircraft. Students learn through the use of specific analytical principles and practical examples taught to them through examples, case studies, and corresponding problems to solve. For professors, this textbook comes complete with end-of-chapter homework problems that provide a summary of the concepts and features contained in the chapters. The problems provide students with an excellent opportunity to analyze and synthesize industry examples, ensuring they understand the key concepts and their applications. A Windows-based software package on CD-ROM, entitled AeroDYNAMIC, provides a single integrated package with one universal user interface providing access to virtual laboratories, simulations, and design synthesis and analysis software based on the methods presented in the text. System Requirements: IBM 486 (compatible) or higher with Windows 3.11, 8 Mb RAM, 50 Mb hard drive disk space

Introduction to Engineering is a project-based learning experience for engineering students, who are tasked with designing a hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle. It leads students through the same process that a team of engineers would follow by breaking a large design problem into smaller, more tractable sub-problems. To purchase this material in a set with electronic classroom materials please see 978-1624104848 
 The first phase of this vehicle's mission profile is a vertical launch like a rocket. Students begin by studying Newton's laws and the principles of rocket propulsion and aerodynamics. Armed with this knowledge, they will design, build, and launch a test vehicle. 
 After flying to the edge of space, the hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle will slow down and glide back to a horizontal landing on the earth. Students study this second phase of the mission, learning about glider aerodynamics and performance, as well the shaping required for hypersonic vehicles. 
 By the end of this course students will learn one fundamental lesson inherent in most problem-solving. Life is full of challenges for which we are not prepared. An engineer, or any creative problem solver, first determines what knowledge and skills are necessary to solve a problem. Then they identify those facts and skills they need to know but they don t yet know, and they set out to learn them. This course is built around that approach. In the process, students will discover the fascinating, challenging, and motivating world of engineering.

Introduction to Engineering - Electronic Materials

Introduction to Engineering is a project-based learning experience for engineering students, who are tasked with designing a hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle. This experience guides students through the same process that a team of engineers would follow by breaking a large design problem into smaller, more tractable subproblems. To help students understand the challenge they confront, a statement of work (SOW) specifies the requirements of a test vehicle they must design, build, demonstrate, and deliver, including vehicle performance capabilities and physical characteristics. 
 After flying to the edge of space, the hypersonic trans-atmospheric vehicle slows down and glides back for a horizontal landing on the earth. Students study this second phase of the mission, learning about glider aerodynamics and performance, as well as the shaping required for hypersonic vehicles. Once more, they design, build, and launch a test vehicle. Test vehicles and the final concept demonstrator are subscale, model-rocket-sized vehicles, but they demonstrate the basic physics, techniques, and technologies required to design full-scale vehicles. 
 Electronic course materials accompany the text and include narrated slideshows, handouts, spreadsheets, and videos that allow students to deepen their understanding of engineering concepts and provide them with the examples and tools needed to build their test vehicles. Students will develop knowledge of aerospace, mechanical, environmental, and electrical engineering as they work to ensure that test vehicles are strong, functional, safe, and environmentally friendly. 
 By the end of this project-based learning experience, students will grasp the fundamental tenets of creative problem solving and discover the fascinating, challenging, and motivating world of engineering.
