Model Aircraft Aerodynamics 5th Edition

Martin Simons

Sinopsis

This is the latest edition - fully revised and updated - of the standard work on aerodynamic theory, as applied to model flight. Everything is explained in a concise and practical form for those enthusiasts who appreciate that a better understanding of model behavior is the sure path to greater success and enjoyment. The revisions for this new edition reflect the significant developments in model aircraft, including radio frequency (RC) model aircraft and drones, over the last few years. New content including the chapter on aerofoils has been extended to take account of the vast amount of testing carried out recently in the USA at the University of Illinois. A new chapter explains the latest research into the flight of birds and insects which is being applied now to small drones and miniature surveillance aircraft. Older wind tunnel test reports have been replaced with the latest trials and measurements. Full-color photos and line drawings featured throughout. Topics include factors affecting lift and drag, scale effect and the boundary layer, basic model performance problems, reducing induced draft, aspect, ratio, and more.

Glop - Nontoxic Expensive Ideas...

Gabrielle Moss

A wickedly funny, full-color, illustrated sendup of the trendy lifestyle publication GOOP.
What is Glop?
Glop is a business and a website. But Glop is also a feeling. It’s about picking the right expensive organic eye cream that will make you fit seamlessly into the top tiers of high society and sits next to Bono at a 42-course seitan tasting dinner held in a sex dungeon deep beneath the North Pole. Glop is about being conscious to the tiny details of our lives—what to eat, where to buy your cashmere yoga pants, which juice cleanse will remove the most mercury toxins from both your body and your cashmere yoga pants. Glop is about you.
In this scathingly humorous parody, Gabrielle Moss skewers the vanity, elitism, and silliness of the lifestyle website everyone loves to hate. Here are favorite recipes, detoxes, activities, cleanses, beauty tips, juice cleanses, vacation destinations, and a selection of hand creams that will open your third eye—plus lots of celebrity namedropping and more.
Glop includes everything from the silly to sublime—make-at-home stem cell moisturizing repair masques, weekend colonics, restorative yoga poses (for when Sting is mad at you about that thing you did), and even the freshest bones for your bone broth. Here, too, are G’s essential tips on parenthood, relationships, work and finances, entertaining, food (well, maybe not food), spirituality, beauty, fashion, home, gifts, kids, and more. Nothing in Glop is sacred—except for a few Indian cows you can’t afford.
