Flyvningen er det 20. århundredes store eventyr, og Danmark har spillet en rolle i det. Ikke siden 30’erne er der kommet et samlet værk om dansk flyvning, hvilket ’Danmarks flyvehistorie’ retter op på i et gennemillustreret og lækkert trebindsværk. Danmarks flyvehistorie – De små fly er bind to.Ole Steen Hansen kender personligt de små flys Danmark og tegner et levende billede af piloterne og den passion, der driver dem. Mange af bogens flotte fotos er taget af forfatteren selv, når han har hængt ud ad åbne vinduer i små fly og fotograferet dem, der fløj tæt ved siden af.Historisk berettes om de små flys mangeartede anvendelse inden for fritidsflyvning, taxaflyvning, ambulanceflyvning, fotoflyvning og svæveflyvning mm. Og forfatteren tager os med på dramatisk forbryderjagt i åben dobbeltdækker, kighosteflyvninger med syge børn, dramatisk landbrugsflyvning en halv meter over kornet med 160km/t, kvindernes verdensmesterskab i svæveflyvning over den jyske hede, og omkring Roskilde-gruppen, der i hjemmebyggede fly med røg efter sig tegnede et hjerte på himlen over København for at hylde sundhedspersonalet under Coronakrisen. Bogen fortæller også om den vigtige danske flyproduktion omkring Anden Verdenskrig, om luftfotografering fra ballon over Tivoli i 1800-tallet og meget mere.Ole Steen Hansen (f. 1957) er forfatter, oversætter, fotograf, pilot og luftfartsjournalist. På baggrund af sit mangeårige virke blev han i 2019 tildelt Dansk Forfatterforenings faglitterære pris. Ole Steen Hansen har i mange år arbejdet med at fremme kendskabet til dansk flyvnings historie, når han i ord og billeder har skabt levende fortællinger med mennesket i centrum.

I tredje og sidste bind af pragtværket om Danmarks flyvehistorie fortæller Ole Steen Hansen den spændende historie om dansk militær flyvning. Den spænder fra den allerførste militære flyvning herhjemme – med en ballon, der desværre endte i Øresund – til et kig ind i fremtiden, da den nye F-35 lander på Flyvestation Skrydstrup.Forfatter-fotografen har talt med en lang række mennesker, der gennem årene har fløjet i Flyvevåbnet samt Hærens og Flådens flyvetjenester, herunder vores første kvindelige militære piloter og radiooperatører.Vi kommer med på højdramatiske redningsaktioner i helikopter, flyver – helt bogstaveligt – højere, end vingerne bærer, med to gange lydens hastighed i Flyvestation Aalborgs Starfightere og kommer tæt på, når ulykken rammer. En tredjedel af Flyvevåbnets kampfly havarerede i løbet af Den Kolde Krig.Bogen indledes med den voldsomme beretning om evakueringen fra Kabul i 2021. Ole Steen Hansen (f. 1957) er forfatter, oversætter, fotograf, pilot og luftfartsjournalist. På baggrund af sit mangeårige virke blev han i 2019 tildelt Dansk Forfatterforenings faglitterære pris.

"A concise and accessible introduction to exoplanets that explains the cutting-edge science behind recent discoveries. For centuries, people have speculated about the possibility of planets orbiting distant stars, but only since the 1990s has technology allowed astronomers to detect them. At this point, more than five thousand such exoplanets have been identified, with the pace of discovery accelerating after the launch of NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Satellite Survey and the Webb Space Telescope. In The Little Book of Exoplanets, Princeton astrophysicist Joshua Winn offers a brief and engaging introduction to the search for exoplanets and the cutting-edge science behind recent findings. In doing so, he chronicles the dawn of a new age of discovery-one that has rapidly transformed astronomy and our broader understanding of the universe. Scientists now know that many Sun-like stars host their own systems of planets, some of which may resemble our solar system and include planets similar to the Earth. But, Winn tells us, the most remarkable discoveries so far have been of planets with unexpected and decidedly un-Earth-like properties, which have upended what we thought we knew about the origins of planetary systems. Winn provides an inside view of the sophisticated detective work astronomers perform as they find and study exoplanets and describes the surprising-sometimes downright bizarre-planets and systems they have found. He explains how these discoveries are revolutionizing astronomy, and he explores the current status and possible future of the search for another Earth. Finally, drawing on his own and other scientists' work, he considers how the discovery of exoplanets and their faraway solar systems changes our perspectives on the universe and our place in it"--

Boeing og Airbus har kæmpet indædt om markedet for passagerfly de sidst 50 år, men i 2024 har Boeing fået bragt sig i en livstruende situation.Boeing har været den førende designer af passagerfly siden jetalderens begyndelse efter 2. verdenskrig. Boeing revolutionerede luftfarten først med alle moderne passagerflys moder langdistanceflyet 707 og siden med jumboen 747, der grundlagde den verdensomspændende flyvning for de mange. Europa havde ikke evnet at fremstille et konkurrencedygtigt fly, før Airbus opstod i 1970'erne og langsomt begyndte at blive en seriøs konkurrent til Boeing. I 1997 fusionerede Boeing med McDonnell Douglas, som havde en helt anden virksomhedsstrategi, og så begyndte det at gå ned ad bakke for Boeing, som skiftede fra at være en ingeniørdrevet virksomhed, hvor man var stolt over at udvikle og producere fantastiske fly, til at være en profitdrevet virksomhed, hvor man om nødvendigt måtte hugge en hæl og klippe en tå, for at aktionærerne kunne få deres kortsigtede udbytte.Ved århundredets begyndelse delte Boeing og Airbus markedet næsten ligeligt, men så tillod den lille canadiske virksomhed Bombardier sig at udfordre duopolet. Airbus svarede igen med A320neo, som blev uhyre populært, og det tvang Boeing til forhastet at udvikle 737 MAX, da loyale Boeing-kunder begyndte at købe arvefjendens neo-fly. MAX blev et yderst problematisk fly, og i 2018 og 2019 ramte Boeing forsiderne på en meget uheldig måde, da to helt nye MAX-fly styrtede ned, og 346 mennesker omkom. Mediemæssigt kunne disse fatale ulykker dog næsten ikke måle sig med dramaet, da en dør i januar 2024 faldt af et MAX-fly i 5 km højde, så et barn var ved at blive suget ud af hullet.I en branche, hvor sikkerhed betyder alt, koster et fly med fatale fejl langt mere end en økonomisk øretæve. Det blev begyndelsen på en uendelig række problemer for Boeing, hvor produktionen gang på gang blev afsløret i at sløse med kvalitet og flysikkerhed, og fly derfor i lange perioder fik flyforbud. Boeing kunne hverken fremstille eller sælge sine fly og blødte markedsandele til Airbus. To gange inden for fire år måtte Boeings øverste chef gå i utide. Boeing, som havde været guldstandarden for udvikling og produktion af fly, var ved at blive trængt i knæ.

Terraforming af Mars – Science eller fictionTerraforming er et kontroversielt begreb, fordi det synes uden for de tekniske muligheder i dag. Men der er tradition for at overveje og udregne mulighederne inden for den verden, som både Dansk Selskab for Rumfartsforskning og British Interplanetary Society er vokset ud af.Dansk Selskab blev grundlagt i 1949 – otte år før den første kunstige satellit Sputnik. Den gang var rumfart noget forholdsvis hypotetisk baseret på udregninger ud fra fysikkens love. Det samme kan man sige om terraforming i dag. Men hvordan ser det så ud? Bogen gennemgår en række problemstillinger i den forbindelse.

In the modern world, travel and commerce within the aviation industry are major drivers of global economic growth. Nonetheless, a number of barriers stand in the way of the aviation industry's continued expansion and viability. The largest of these issues is the fuel usage in aircraft. An increase in fuel consumption results in a rise in operating costs and anthropogenic emissions.In order to evaluate aviation fuel consumption criteria, the author's goal in this book is to evolve, conceptualize, and develop a reliable Reduction in Aviation Fuel Consumption (RAFC) model.A thorough assessment of the literature served as the foundation for the development and conceptualization of the RAFC framework. Therefore, this book examined a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods to implement the methodology with primary and secondary data. It carried out analysis utilizing a variety of techniques, including regression analysis, factor analysis, structural equation modeling, and AHP-entropy. This combination guaranteed the study's adaptability, economy, and consistency. Future interest in minimizing fuel consumption and emissions and maximizing revenue under prevailing social, economic, political, environmental, and other restrictions might be stoked by knowledge of RAFC correlations with factors and sub-factors. Consequently, it will lead aviation toward a future that is both ecologically friendly and fuel-efficient. This book is a vital resource for academics, researchers, engineers, airline personnel, and decision-makers (governments and regulatory organizations) as it offers a thorough framework that gives an overall view of the aviation industry with regard to fuel usage.
