This textbook gives a brief idea about the modern aircraft used in defense and for commercial purposes. Aerospace technology in its present form has developed along certain basic principles of aerodynamic forces. Different parts in an airplane have different functions to balance the aircraft in air, provide a thrust, and control the general…

This book, which is to be used only in the Air Force ROTC training program, deals with the kinds of civil aviation facilities and the intricacies and procedures of the use of flying. The first chapter traces the development of civil aviation and the formation of organizations to control aviation systems. The second chapter describes varieties of…

The textbook provides answers to many questions related to airplanes and properties of air flight. The first chapter provides a description of aerodynamic forces and deals with concepts such as acceleration, velocity, and forces of flight. The second chapter is devoted to the discussion of properties of the atmosphere. How different…

A group of adults were tested before and after witnessing a space science education presentation; a significant difference was found between the pre- and post-tests of their understanding and awareness of space activities. (MLH)

Describes activities to demonstrate Bernoulli's Principle, the effect of vibration on reaction time, formation of craters on the moon and weather simulation. (CP)

Describes a classroom organized as a self-contained closed spaceship which provides an opportunity for individualized learning based on student interests and a chance to wrestle with the problems that would arise on an interstellar journey in a spaceship. (BR)

Describes the newly revised Air Force Reserve Officers Training Corps (AFROTC) program which emphasizes selectivity, young women in the officer candidate program, and focuses on management techniques, psychology and leadership. The monetary advantages are detailed which include scholarships, free flight training and other benefits. (BR)

Describes a summer workshop in Pennsylvania for high school students which was to provide students with an orientation and introduction to aviation and aerospace and to give them a background understanding of several phases of the subject. (BR)

Reports a study using Skylab Television Educational Programs in addition to Educational Television Programs and the response elicted from students who watched a simulation of a Skylab produced program. The study indicated that Skylab Television can be a positive educational device. (BR)

Describes the Air Force Museum in Dayton (Ohio) and the history behind this present-day educational facility. Gives suggestions for preparing a class for a visit to the museum by previewing what the class will see and generating interest through pre-trip activities. (BR)

Describes the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama as stimulating experience for students in aerospace education. The center has the largest collection of space-age hardware assembled under one roof, a Space Flight simulator, a Skylab space station mock-up and many more interesting exhibits. (BR)

Describes a course, without laboratory, using rudimentary algebra and covering such topics as gravitation, orbital mechanics, atomic structure, geomagnetism, electromagnetic spectrum, theory of relativity, extraterrestrial life, and interstellar travel. (GH)

This compilation of 138 problems illustrating applications of high school mathematics to various aspects of space science is intended as a resource from which the teacher may select questions to supplement his regular course. None of the problems require a knowledge of calculus or physics, and solutions are presented along with the problem…

Describes an experiment in which a college student learned flight principles on a flight simulator, then flew an actual plane with no need for assistance from the accompanying instructor. (MLH)

Describes a week-long unit on ballooning appropriate for a fifth grade (reading) class. Includes activities ranging from book-making to homemade balloon design. (MA)
