Flying on Your Own Wings - A Complete Guide to Understanding Light Airplane Design

Chris Heintz is a professional aeronautical engineer with a prolific career spanning over 40 years designing and building light aircraft. Recognized worldwide as a uniquely talented and accomplished designer, his aircraft are known and appreciated for their simplicity of construction, pilot-friendly cabins and controllability as well as remarkable performances.
Today, Chris Heintz designs are flown throughout the world, mostly by recreational pilots who have assembled their own planes from a kit. His most popular models are also factory-assembled and sold as ready-to-fly sport aircraft on three continents.

In this book, Mr. Heintz shares his knowledge and insights into the art and science of light aircraft design. He "walks" readers through the essential understanding and skills required to conceive, develop, build and even test-fly their own personal light airplane.
Basic mathematics, essential aerodynamics and stress analysis are just a few of the chapters of this fascinating book. Heintz even provides a sample design to help would-be designers take their first step towards imagining and creating their own wings.

Truly a beginner's guide to everything you need to know in order to achieve that age-old dream: To fly on your own wings!

Restoring Museum Aircraft

Takes the reader step by step through the process of aircraft restoration from the initial decision to prepare for an exhibit: Does it fit the museum's aims? How will it be displayed? Will it fly? And of course: Is it good value?
Initial preparation before disassembly are noted and then the principal techniques in working with wood-and-fabric, and metal aircraft are discussed, using many interesting real examples. Types of propulsion, tires, colors and markings are covered systematically and the different requirements for indoor or outdoor exhibition are shown.

This book is considered the authoritative reference to the wide and complex subject of aircraft preservation and restoration.

Die spektakulärsten Flugunfälle: Fakten, Hintergründe, Konsequenzen

Flying is considered one of the safest forms of transport, but if something does happen, the results of an accident are usually fatal and sometimes extremely spectacular.

In this book, former air traffic controller and aviation expert Andreas Fecker provides a comprehensive overview of the most incredible aviation accidents of the last 75 years. The book discusses the causes, types of aircraft, number of victims and accompanying circumstances, but also the lessons that can be learned from them.

Die Technik des modernen Verkehrsflugzeuges

Modern commercial aircraft are the result of decades of development. In order to enable aviation in its current form, these machines are technically perfectly developed and adapted to the respective application profile. But even if commercial aircraft have now reached a high level of technical performance, the developments are by no means complete.

This book by Klaus Hünecke, in a comprehensively revised and updated new edition, provides a well-founded and coherent overview of the latest technology of modern commercial aircraft.

Technik im Flugzeugbau - Von den fliegenden Kisten zur A350 XWB

More than any other means of transport, airplanes are technological marvels, and only a few people know anything about their creation.
This book is intended to explain to the technical layman in a way that is understandable how airplanes are created and what changes the industry has undergone from its beginnings to today.

Graphically appealing and excitingly illustrated, the range extends from the completely hand-made "flying boxes" from the early days of aviation, the start of industrial series production, through the Second World War to the high-tech aircraft of today, which are completely designed on the computer.
