Beschreibung

The Physics of Flight provides a comprehensive explanatory reference on the basic physics of flight with a clear presentation of the underlying mathematics. It presents a momentum-based explanation of lift making no use of Bernoulli's theorem.

Autor

Albert Storace, BME, MME, P.E. has more than 40 years of industrial experience in the areas of jet engine dynamics, structures, and mechanical design, and he has authored numerous design practices, papers, and reports. He earned his bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering at the City College of New York. He is a licensed professional mechanical engineer in Ohio and holds five patents. He holds the commercial pilot license with instrument rating and is an aircraft owner. He has developed design process improvements and computer codes for jet engine rotordynamics, squeeze-film dampers, and composite structures. He developed the architecture and design for wireless jet engine radio controlled auto balancing systems. He developed and coded the VISTA computer program used for the dynamics architecture and rotordynamics design and analysis of all GE Aviation Jet and aero derivative marine and stationary engines. He developed the Modal Stability Criterion used at GE Aviation for the prediction of engine dynamic instability caused by blade tip-clearance aerodynamic forces. A member of ASME, he has served as a rotordynamics session organizer for various ASME International Gas Turbine Institute (IGTI) meetings. He received the Melville Medal, the highest honor for the best original technical paper published in the ASME Transactions over a two-year period.
