Cold War Delta Prototypes - Tony Buttler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Cold War Delta Prototypes - Tony Buttler - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This is the fascinating history of how the radical delta-wing became the design of choice for early British and American high-performance jets, and of the role legendary aircraft like the Fairey Delta series played in its development. At the dawn of the supersonic jet age, aircraft designers were forced to devise radical new planforms that suited the new power of the jet engine. One of the most successful was the delta wing.Although Gloster produced the delta wing Javelin, and Boulton Paul--its P.111 research aircraft--Fairey and Avro were the champions of the delta in Britain. Meanwhile in America, with the exception of Douglas''s Navy jet fighter programs, Convair largely had the delta wing to itself. These development lines, one on each side of the Atlantic, had essentially the same objective -- to produce high­-speed fighter aircraft. In Britain, the Fairey Delta 2 went on to break the World Air Speed Record in spectacular fashion, but it failed to win a production order. In contrast Convair received major orders for two jet fighter types and one jet bomber. At the same time, the British Avro company built the 707 family of research aircraft, which led to the famous Vulcan, to show how the delta wing could be adopted for a highly successful subsonic bomber.This book examines the development of the delta wing in Britain and America, and the way in which experimental aircraft like the Fairey Deltas proved their potential and versatility. In Britain it covers the Fairey Delta 1 and Fairey Delta 2, the proposed Fairey Delta Rocket Fighter and huge Delta 3 long range interceptor, and the Avro 707. On the American side, it examines the Convair XF-92 and XF-92A, the development of the Delta Dagger/Delta Dart family, and the Convair Sea Dart -- the world''s only supersonic seaplane.

Adlard Coles Shore Guide: The West Country - Paul Heiney - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

F rom the Isles of Scilly to Portland Bill, this handy travel guide to the West Country ensures sailors make the most of every minute ashore. Arriving ashore somewhere new often raises many questions for even the most experienced sailor: Where are the best anchorages and peaceful places to stop? What are the best routes for walks? How do I keep the family entertained? Where are the best beaches and where can I find laundry facilities? Where can I go for the best cream tea? Sailors need a different kind of pilot guide after arrival and this book is their shore-side companion, helping them to explore and enjoy all the West Country has to offer.Without doubt, this stretch of coastline is Britain''s most popular cruising destination. The West Country offers a rich variety of coastline from the rugged, Atlantic feel of Scilly and Land''s End, to the traditional Cornish villages between the Lizard Peninsula and Plymouth harbour. After Start Point, the Devon coastline softens and opens out to offer Dartmouth and the Rivers Dart and Exe working their way far inland to provide a wide array of flat-water cruising. Further east, you''ll find the Jurassic coast with broad beaches busy with fossil hunters and places to stop if the weather is on your side. Illustrated with beautiful photographs and maps, this guide brings together the key information needed for your trip, along with Paul Heiney''s brilliant recommendations, all in one handy place, freeing up valuable holiday time.
