Desertification is experienced on 33% of the global land surface and affects more than one billion people, especially concentrated in in Africa. Only 11% of the global land surface offers no or few limitations for practical use, which means that a global population of 7.4 billion people relies on this 11% for its food. The co-signed document issued by the recent Conference of Parties COP21 - also known as the 2015 Paris Climate Conference - included a goal specifically focused on land as a resource. It says that the countries agree to: ‘protect, restore and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss’. Undoubtedly, land is an environmental resource, but it is also an economic resource, which is influenced by socio-political changes regulated by urban laws and social changes. The vast majority of human activities depends on the use of land. We rely on urbanized land to live, we need land for our nourishment, forests are a fundamental element for the quality of the air, and soil play a very important role in natural water purification. Understanding land as a resource which is a compelling issue to plan a more sustainable future. The implications for the building sector are significant, especially in urbanized areas where land-use changes occur frequently, land has a high economic values, and social changes are concentrated. Land in cities is heavily exposed to socio-economic changes, such as the industrialization or the de-industrialization processes. Intervening in the process of land-use changes means to regulate the consumpion of a resource, and brownfields are the occasion for urban planners to balance land-use development, social changes and environmental urgencies. 4 UNDERSTANDING LAND AS A RESOURCE IS A COMPELLING ISSUE TO PLAN A MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE.

  • Air Transport
    The History of Air Transport KOSTAS IATROU Dedicated to my wife Evgenia and my sons George and Yianni Copyright © 2020: Kostas Iatrou First Edition: July 2020 Published by: Hermes – Air Transport Organisation Graphic Design – Layout: Sophia Darviris Material (either in whole or in part) from this publication may not be published, photocopied, rewritten, transferred through any electronical or other means, without prior permission by the publisher. Preface ommercial aviation recently celebrated its first centennial. Over the more than 100 years since the first Ctake off, aviation has witnessed challenges and changes that have made it a critical component of mod- ern societies. Most importantly, air transport brings humans closer together, promoting peace and harmo- ny through connectivity and social exchange. A key role for Hermes Air Transport Organisation is to contribute to the development, progress and promo- tion of air transport at the global level. This would not be possible without knowing the history and evolu- tion of the industry. Once a luxury service, affordable to only a few, aviation has evolved to become accessible to billions of peo- ple. But how did this evolution occur? This book provides an updated timeline of the key moments of air transport. It is based on the first aviation history book Hermes published in 2014 in partnership with ICAO, ACI, CANSO & IATA. I would like to express my appreciation to Professor Martin Dresner, Chair of the Hermes Report Committee, for his important role in editing the contents of the book. I would also like to thank Hermes members and partners who have helped to make Hermes a key organisa- tion in the air transport field.

  • Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet Service Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" In
    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology. One of the captured Ar 234s was restored to airworthy condition in 1946 and used by the LII for testing brake parachutes. 140355 no code Ar 234B-2 Soviet Air Force f/f 30nov44 previously opb KG 76 of the German Air Force; in dark green/brown purple camo c/s with light grey undersides, the last letter of the unit code may have been an 'F'; captured by Soviet troops in damaged condition (after a forced landing) reportedly at Pütnitz mar45, but

All of these were constructed of aluminum alloy, which was corrugated for added stiffness, although the resulting drag reduced its overall performance.[5] So similar were the designs that Junkers sued and won when Ford attempted to export an aircraft to Europe.[6] In 1930, Ford counter- sued in Prague, and despite the possibility of anti-German sentiment, was decisively defeated a second time, with the court finding that Ford had infringed upon Junkers’ patents.[6] Although designed primarily for passenger use, the Tri- motor could be easily adapted for hauling cargo, since its seats in the fuselage could be removed.

  • Power and Initiative in Twentieth Century Germany
    POWER AND INITIATIVE IN TWENTIETH CENTURY GERMANY THE CASE OF HUGO JUNKERS by RICHARD WILLIAM EDWIN BYERS (Under the direction of John Morrow) ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the relationship between private enterprises and nation states in high technology research and applications. As the twentieth century progressed, this relationship became more contentious as state organs, citing national security priorities, attempted to assert their influence on private manufacturers. Nowhere is this relationship better illustrated than in the aircraft industry, and Germany’s geopolitical circumstances during the first half of the twentieth century provide an excellent framework to explore this intersection of interests. The dissertation focuses on the relationship between Professor Hugo Junkers and three successive state regimes in Germany between 1914 and 1934. Already a successful businessman and entrepreneur by the beginning of the First World War, Hugo Junkers continued to pursue plans for all- metal aircraft designs after war began despite wartime supply difficulties and widespread skepticism that such a craft would ever fly. Successful flight trials in 1915 lead to increased official interest in the Junkers firm as a possible military aircraft supplier, and military representatives began negotiations with Junkers over possible production of his aircraft designs. When these negotiations foundered, state officials accused Junkers of pursuing selfish objectives at the state’s expense, and increasingly intervened in the firm’s production processes. Professor Junkers fiercely resisted these incursions, and this resistance permanently damaged relations between the two parties. Throughout the life of the Weimar Republic, Junkers and state officials fought to control the firm’s production and design priorities.

  • Book Reviews IN-FLIGHT SIMULATORS and FLY-BY-WIRE/ LIGHT DEMONSTRATORS
    Afterburner Book Reviews IN-FLIGHT SIMULATORS AND FLY-BY-WIRE/ LIGHT DEMONSTRATORS A Historical Account of International Aeronautical Research Edited by P G Hamel Springer. 2017. 345pp. Illustrated. £112. ISBN 978-3-319-53996-6. Fly-by-wire has become so ubiquitous in aerospace that, with the possible exception of general aviation, it would be a surprise for a new aircraft to be launched today without it. However, it has been a long journey to this point. The state of the art in fly-by-wire is where it is today in no small part due to 60-plus years of aeronautical research establishments around the world testing flight demonstrators to prove the theory and technology. Often, the primary aim has been improved aircraft performance or manoeuvrability through a reduction in natural aerodynamic stability. Artificial stability is then provided through the fly-by-wire system to achieve the handling qualities desired by the pilot. To this end, many of the flight demonstrators developed by research establishments have had variable stability, allowing the aircraft’s stability characteristics to be deliberately altered during flight. Some variable stability aircraft have also been developed with the purpose of simulating a different Vought F-8C Crusader. The flown at other research organisations and aircraft entirely.

De este modo el 18 de septiembre de 1924 el piloto de prueba Wilhelm Zimmermann (1897- 1956) voló el prototipo G-23, poco tiempo después de las sucesivas mejoras nació el G-24. Fue el primer transporte comercial monoplano trimotor enteramente metálico del mundo, tenía ca- pacidad para tres tripulantes y nueve pasajeros. El primer modelo estuvo motorizado con un Junkers L.2 de seis cilindros en línea refrigerado por líquido de 230 hp y dos principales DIIIa. De su desa- rrollo aparecieron nuevas y mejores versiones con motores más potentes y mayores prestaciones.
