Tom Swift and His Hypersonic SpacePlane available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In the 29th novel of this series, Tom Swift decides to "dust off" and see if he can make an early dream come true. At the age of sixteen he had built a small jet he called his Nuclear Hyperplane. It was anything but either of those things. Now, nearly sixteen years later he believes he might do something to make that dream come true. He sets out to design an aircraft that might travel at five times the speed of sound.Because he is award that he cannot continuously spend without bringing some sales into Swift Enterprises, he plans to build a hypersonic passenger jet capable of getting half way around the world in about three-and-a-half hours. It is an ambitions plan.It comes to the attention of at least two unfriendly entities, both of whom try to ruin his plans; at least one believes that killing the inventor is the way to accomplish this.By taking things in little steps, he inches closer and closer to his dream, but can he manage to do it while remaining safe?

In this hardbound edition of book 25 of the new series, Tom Swift is approached by a rich man with a dream of building a city that can float above crowded cities and land without creating more ecological woes. His dream is a flying platform on which such aa dream town might be built, and he believes Tom is just the man to realize it! The inventor struggles with finding a technology to make this happen before he must tell his benefactor it is "impossible." But, a chance discovery on an Internet site devoted to making fun on crackpot inventors and their ideas sets him on the path to an answer. However, nothing runs smoothly in Tom's world and he soon finds an old foe is out to track him down, hurt or kill him and Bud Barclay, and ruin the HoverCity. Who will win in this multi-battle showdown?

Download and read online ebook Facing the Heat Barrier write by T.A. Heppenheimer. This book was released on 2018-09-12. Facing the Heat Barrier available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This volume from The NASA History Series presents an overview of the science of hypersonics, the study of flight at speeds at which the physics of flows is dominated by aerodynamic heating. The survey begins during the years immediately following World War II, with the first steps in hypersonic research: the development of missile nose cones and the X-15; the earliest concepts of hypersonic propulsion; and the origin of the scramjet engine. Next, it addresses the re-entry problem, which came to the forefront during the mid-1950s, showing how work in this area supported the manned space program and contributed to the development of the orbital shuttle. Subsequent chapters explore the fading of scramjet studies and the rise of the National Aerospace Plane (NASP) program of 1985–95, which sought to lay groundwork for single-stage vehicles. The program's ultimate shortcomings — in terms of aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials — are discussed, and the book concludes with a look at hypersonics in the post-NASP era, including the development of the X-33 and X-34 launch vehicles, further uses for scramjets, and advances in fluid mechanics. Clearly, ongoing research in hypersonics has yet to reach its full potential, and readers with an interest in aeronautics and astronautics will find this book a fascinating exploration of the field's history and future.
