  • Michelin, La Leçon De Choses Janvier 2017 4 Tristan De La Broise
    Tristan de la Broise MICHELIN La leçon de choses 1832-2012 Michelin, la leçon de choses Janvier 2017 4 Tristan de la Broise De l’invention de la roue à celle du pneu, combien de temps s’est-il écoulé ? Pourquoi une découverte aussi importante a-t-elle autant tardé ? Certains affirment – pas seulement chez Michelin – que sans le pneu, il n’y aurait pas eu de bicyclette ni d’automobile. Ou alors, si peu. Et roulant si mal. C’est une histoire déconcertante. En effet, quoi de plus élémentaire qu’un pneu ? Mais le génie de Michelin est d’en avoir fait, dans sa poursuite de l’excellence, un produit de haute technologie, aussi complexe dans sa conception, dans ses constituants et dans sa réalisation que simple dans son utilisation. À l’inverse d’autres industries, qui banalisent les appareils les plus compliqués, Michelin s’est ingéniée à rendre le pneu toujours plus performant, plus sophistiqué. « Si le pneu ne vous passionne pas, vous n’avez rien à faire dans cette Maison » assure Marius Mignol, génial inventeur du Radial au jeune François Michelin lorsqu’il entre à la Manufacture en 1955. La passion, c’est celle de la recherche, de l’innovation. C’est celle que partagent les dirigeants, les ingénieurs, tout le personnel. Le fruit en est le pneu X dont les nombreuses déclinaisons hissent en un demi-siècle l’entreprise auvergnate au rang des leaders mondiaux. Un demi- siècle supplémentaire de course pour l’immortel Bibendum qui double ainsi sa durée de vie tout en rajeunissant sa silhouette, défiant et séduisant tous les publicitaires de la planète.

    X Race Book Magny-Cours 6-8 mai 2021 Le mot de Marc Meurer Président de Porsche France Chers Passionnés, ienvenue sur cette nouvelle saison de la Porsche Carrera Cup France ! Nous avons hâte de vous retrouver pour partager ces moments de sport automobile qui nous Baniment. La saison s’annonce passionnante avec : une nouvelle voiture, de nouveaux circuits et de nouveaux teams, mais aussi nos teams et pilotes fidèles. Nous sommes fiers de voir que l’excellent niveau de notre championnat, qui a fait émerger tant de pilotes officiels, attire toujours autant de passionnés. Cette année est particulière car nos pilotes prendront le volant de la nouvelle Porsche 911 GT3 Cup type 992, pour sa première année d’exploitation. C’est une occasion en or pour illustrer encore plus la philosophie de notre championnat : l’égalité des chances face au pilotage, puisque tout le monde découvrira la nouvelle voiture en même temps. La compétition est et restera dans l’ADN Porsche. Depuis toujours, de nombreuses technologies disponibles sur nos véhicules de série sont testées et éprouvées en course. Cela reste vrai aujourd’hui et la Porsche Carrera Cup en est l’illustration. Le championnat est également pour nous l’occasion de vous faire (re)découvrir et vivre le Sport Automobile, de l’intérieur. Pour cette nouvelle saison, nous développons de nouveaux moyens de communication pour vous permettre de vivre, de près comme de loin, votre passion au plus près de l’actualité. C’est pourquoi, nous mettons en place ce Race Book avec notre partenaire Flat 6 Magazine, où vous pourrez retrouver toutes les infos et actualités de la Porsche Carrera Cup à l’occasion de chaque meeting.

    X Race Book Monza 9-11 juillet 2021 Le mot de Dominik Gruber Directeur Marketing Porsche France Chers Passionnés, près deux premiers meetings sur le sol français en ouverture de cette 31e saison de la Porsche Carrera Cup France, puis le « toboggan des Ardennes » de Spa Aen Belgique, nous sommes ravis de vous retrouver à Monza en Italie. La saison a commencé sous les meilleurs hospices avec une nouvelle voiture magnifique et performante qui, d’après les dernières courses, semble donner pleinement satisfaction à nos teams & pilotes. Nous avons également pu assister à de belles bagarres en piste entre tous nos concurrents qu’ils soient novices ou habitués de notre compétition. Ce meeting de Monza signera la quatrième manche de notre championnat. Ainsi ces deux nouvelles courses sont-elles capitales pour les leaders des classements qui tenteront de consolider leur avance, et pour leurs poursuivants qui feront tout pour réduire leurs écarts. Ce quatrième opus se tient malheureusement, une nouvelle fois à huis clos. En attendant de nous retrouver ensemble sur les circuits, nos équipes sur place feront le maximum pour vous faire vivre cette manche de l’intérieur ; n’hésitez donc pas à suivre les transmissions des qualifications et des courses. Ce Race Book est aussi l’occasion de mettre à jour vos connaissances sur le championnat, nos participants et partenaires. Le motorsport est et restera dans notre ADN et nous sommes fiers de voir que la Carrera Cup France continue de faire rêver et qu’elle nous permet de partager cette passion au quotidien

  • A HISTORY of AERONAUTICS by E. Charles
    A HISTORY OF AERONAUTICS by E. Charles Vivian FOREWORD Although successful heavier-than-air flight is less than two decades old, and successful dirigible propulsion antedates it by a very short period, the mass of experiment and accomplishment renders any one-volume history of the subject a matter of selection. In addition to the restrictions imposed by space limits, the material for compilation is fragmentary, and, in many cases, scattered through periodical and other publications. Hitherto, there has been no attempt at furnishing a detailed account of how the aeroplane and the dirigible of to-day came to being, but each author who has treated the subject has devoted his attention to some special phase or section. The principal exception to this rule--Hildebrandt--wrote in 1906, and a good many of his statements are inaccurate, especially with regard to heavier-than-air experiment. Such statements as are made in this work are, where possible, given with acknowledgment to the authorities on which they rest. Further acknowledgment is due to Lieut.-Col. Lockwood Marsh, not only for the section on aeroplane development which he has contributed to the work, but also for his kindly assistance and advice in connection with the section on aerostation. The author's thanks are also due to the Royal Aeronautical Society for free access to its valuable library of aeronautical literature, and to Mr A. Vincent Clarke for permission to make use of his notes on the development of the aero engine. In this work is no claim to originality--it has been a matter mainly of compilation, and some stories, notably those of the Wright Brothers and of Santos Dumont, are better told in the words of the men themselves than any third party could tell them.
