Aviation and Human Factors

Aviation and Human Factors

Jose Sanchez-Alarcos

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2023
nidottu
Air safety is right now at a point where the chances of being killed in an aviation accident are far lower than the chances to winning a jackpot in any of the major lotteries. However, keeping or improving that performance level requires a critical analysis of some events that, despite scarce, point to structural failures in the learning process. The effect of these failures could increase soon if there is not a clear and right development path. This book tries to identify what is wrong, why there are things to fix, and some human factors principles to keep in aircraft design and operations.Features Shows, through different events, how the system learns through technology, practices, and regulations and the pitfalls of that learning process Discusses the use of information technology in safety-critical environments and why procedural knowledge is not enough Presents air safety management as a successful process, but at the same time, failures coming from technological and organizational features are shown Offers ways to improve from the human factors side by getting the right lessons from recent events

Avicenna’s Theory of Intentionality

Avicenna’s Theory of Intentionality

Zhenyu Cai

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
Intentionality – how thoughts represent reality – lies at the heart of many contemporary philosophical questions in the philosophy of mind. Over the past 20 years, Avicenna’s conception of intentionality has received considerable scholarly attention. This book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Avicenna’s theory of intentionality. Demonstrating how Avicenna distinguished theories of meaning (ma?na as signification) from intentionality (‘the power to represent’), this work presents his theory of intentionality as a form of non-reductive representationalism. It argues that, for Avicenna, cognitive intentionality is explained by the existence of a representational power ultimately rooted in the rational soul as immaterial self-awareness. Furthermore, the book demonstrates that Avicenna’s thoughts on intentionality cannot be neatly assimilated into contemporary naturalistic or phenomenal approaches, as his theory strikes a balance between the two. This book offers a novel and systematic perspective on contemporary debates surrounding Avicenna’s theory of cognition and intentionality. Scholars and students of medieval philosophy, Islamic intellectual history, and philosophy of mind will find it essential reading. It is also suitable for academic libraries, philosophy publishers, and those exploring non-Western philosophical traditions.

Aviation Workhorses: Short SC.7 Skyvan

Aviation Workhorses: Short SC.7 Skyvan

John Hayles

PEN SWORD BOOKS LTD
2026
sidottu
Designed at the start of the 1960s, the Short SC.7 Skyvan had to overcome considerable challenges—including two engine changes—before it was accepted by operators, but overcome them it did, laying the foundations for a family of aircraft that remained in production until 1992. Used for both cargo and passenger transport, and more recently a favourite of skydivers, the Skyvan’s overtly boxy shape has earned it many nicknames from the ‘Shoebox’ to the ‘Flying Shed’. This book delves into the origins of the design and its development through several versions, including some design studies that were never built. It includes a thorough survey of Skyvan operators, both civil and military, a look at what it’s like to fly, and an assessment of its safety record. Also included is a photographic walk-around of the main features of the design, which will be of interest to scale modellers. With many previously unseen photographs and drawings, this is the most comprehensive history of the Skyvan ever published, and the first in an exciting new series on aviation workhorses.
