Concept to Reality: Contributions of the NASA Langley Research Centerto U.S. Civil Aircraft of the 1990s

The Langley Memorial Aeronautical Lab. was established in 1917 as the Nation's first civil aeronautics research lab. with a primary mission to identify & solve the problems of flight. This volume highlights significant Langley contributions to safety, cruise performance, takeoff & landing capabilities, structural integrity, crashworthiness, flight deck technologies, pilot-vehicle interfaces, flight characteristics, stall & spin behavior, computational design methods, & other challenging technical areas for civil aviation. It includes descriptions of important applications of Langley research to current civil fixed-wing aircraft. Also covers contributions to the operation of civil aircraft, which includes operating problems.
