Airship and Balloon Technical Information, Vol.1
Airship and Balloon Technical Information, Vol. 1, is a collection of documents originally produced by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) – the precursor of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Documents are not necessarily presented in the order in which they were originally published, but are presented according to availability, and the order of interest of the publisher at the time.
Other volumes in this series are in the planning stages and will contain interesting and useful documents from a variety of sources.
This is an excellent learning resource for the undergraduate engineer, serious hobbyist, and practicing professional.
This volume contains:· An Airship Slide Rule; · The Drag Characteristics of Several Airships Determined by Deceleration Tests; · Airship Model Tests in the Variable Density Wind Tunnel; · Circular Motion of Bodies of Revolution; and · Procedure for Determining Speed and Climbing Performance of Airships. (124 pages)

Nuclear Rocket Propulsion: A Metal Dumbo Rocket Reactor
This was once a TOP SECRETE document at Los Alamos. Now Declassified, this is excellent material to learn from. Very mathematical, it’s more of a principles document than a straightforward engineering document – something to which you refer for your engineering, laid out in the language of science and engineering – mathematics. If you don’t like integral and differential equations, you may want to run and hide. Appropriate for an advanced engineering or physics undergraduate in their final year, a precocious graduate student, or practicing professional this material is definitely worth the study. (392 pages). Note: Two very great minds in mathematics were consulted when this text was originally being put together --John von Neumann and S. Chandrasekhar. Not only is it interesting historically, you can “bet your bottom dollar” that you're getting some good material.

Airship Aerodynamics
Airship Aerodynamics Technical Manual was originally published in 1941 by the U.S. War Department. The original intent of the document was as a text for the instruction of airship pilots, and as a reference text for lighter-than-air-pilots in the operation of their craft. It is a short basic text that should be approachable by talented high school seniors, though there is some terminology and ideas that beginning college engineering students would be more comfortable and familiar. General areas covered in the document include: Air Resistance, Power Requirements for Propulsion, Stability, Control, and Aerodynamic Stresses. (69 pages)

Development of a Piston-Compressor Type Light-Gas Gun for the Launching of Free-Flight Models at High Velocity
a 1957 Technical Note by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), the precursor of NASA. The work addresses the use of high-velocity guns to test missile aerodynamics. The physics, math, experimental setup, and test results are discussed.
This document makes an interesting addition to any practicing professional’s reference library and is valuable study fodder for the ambitious engineering student or serious hobbyist. (99 pages)

The Theory of High Speed Guns
This reprint of a 1965 NATO AGARDograph title is a monograph summarizing the gas dynamics of high-speed guns, utilizing a gas of low molecular weight at high temperature. Theory and test results are presented. The reader is assumed to be an advanced student in engineering. The fundamental ideas and equations are fully developed. (325 pages)
This is a most excellent text. Well laid out and very thorough. The presentation makes no assumptions and lays out all the details (no frustrating hand-waving here) Physics students, engineering students, serious hobbyist, practicing professionals-- you will learn alot from this text and enjoy it at the same time -- I sure did!
