En 1783, les premiers ballons s’envolent dans le ciel d’Annonay, puis de Paris. L’invention des frères Montgolfier stupéfait l’Europe entière. Ces machines d’étoffe remplies d’air chaud ou d’hydrogène soulèvent un immense enthousiasme. Le vol humain devient une réalité accomplissant l’idéal prométhéen de maîtrise de l’homme sur la matière. Au-delà de l’histoire bien connue de l’invention, l’ambition de cet ouvrage est de considérer les premières expériences aérostatiques comme un objet à part entière de l’histoire culturelle des Lumières, en cherchant à qualifier les réceptions différenciées de l’innovation et les pratiques sociales qu’elle engendre, au plus près de l’évènement. Échappant un temps aux inventeurs, à l’Académie des sciences et au gouvernement, l’aérostation devient en France une invention partagée par de nombreux amateurs qui construisent un espace public de la technique dont l’expression culmine lors des envols. L’analyse de l’organisation financière et matérielle des entreprises de vol menées dans différentes villes de province en 1784, révèle le modèle utopique d’une économie symbolique mettant en scène le consensus des élites éclairées et du peuple autour du ballon, devenu emblème du progrès. L’expérience qui démontre en place publique les effets des fluides aériens, alors à la pointe d’une chimie en « révolution », se transforme en une véritable fête des Lumières. Mais en interpellant les sens autant que la raison, la radicalité bouleversante de l’envol en fragilise également l’euphorie. Par cette étude, c’est à la fois une cartographie des savoirs et des pratiques, une lecture des milieux urbains et des publics de la France des années 1780 qui s’esquisse.

The second edition of Practical Aviation Security is a complete guide to the aviation security system, from crucial historical events to the policies, policymakers, and major terrorist and criminal acts that have shaped the procedures in use today. The tip-of-the-spear technologies that are shaping the future are also addressed. This text equips readers in airport security or other aviation management roles with the knowledge to implement the effective security programs, to meet international guidelines, and to responsibly protect facilities or organizations of any size.

The flying public, airlines, and governments will all agree on one date that changed commercial flying: that was September 11, 2001. The first edition of Aviation Law: Cases, Laws and Related Sources , described early consequences of that event, particularly compensation of victims and early tightening of aviation security. Subsequently laws and regulations affecting all aspects of aviation changed so rapidly that it became difficult to set a cut-off date for the second edition. The rapid flow of events made an update urgent. Several gaps in the materials of the first edition became evident as the book was used. The authors filled those gaps, pruned old materials and added much new material describing not only the later developments, but also evolving economics and flight technology. The objective of the case book is to offer a basic handbook for air law practitioners providing them with a starting point for almost any subject they may encounter. For example, a lawyer specializing in liability law will quickly be able to find basic materials on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), air carrier licensing, FAA certification, and labor law. The book continues to present aviation law from the American point of view. Thus the book will be valuable for foreign air lawyers who are guiding foreign airlines in service to the very important North American pool of air traffic. The book also explains the international scene to American air lawyers so that they may guide their clients who provide foreign service. New chapters on liability for cargo damage and for ground damages have been added and new materials on the legal rights of lessors, successors, actual carriers and code-shares. A chapter on environmental regulation of aviation noise and emissions is also new. All the main subjects listed in the first edition are significantly updated. The three authors are veteran transportation lawyers and continue their activities in this field.

Innovation in aerospace design and engineering is essential to meet the many challenges facing this sector. Innovation in aeronautics explores both a range of innovative ideas and how the process of innovation itself can be effectively managed.After an introduction to innovation in aeronautics, part one reviews developments including biologically-inspired technologies, morphing aerodynamic concepts, jet engine design drivers, and developments underpinned by digital technologies. The environment and human factors in innovation are also explored as are trends in supersonic passenger air
