The book records in intimate detail the formative years of the Fokker company and tells, more fully than any other history, the story of the men and the aircraft whose work and achievements made that company one of the greatest aircraft companies in the world. Most important, it does belated honour to Reinhold Platz, the man who designed the best of the Fokker aircraft of the 1914-18 was period and the most famous of the Fokker transport monoplanes.

This book is a profusely illustrated history of one of the most innovative aircraft companies in the world. Fokker is one of the great names in aviation history and a name that has survived from the very earliest days of flying. Anthony Fokker was only twenty when he built his first aeroplane in 1910. Seventy years later the company that bears his name is still energetically designing, buildings and selling aircraft – still continuing a long and fascinating tradition. Fokker established the company in 1912 at Johannisthal, outside Berlin. With the coming of war Fokker became a supplier of aircraft to the Central Powers and between 1914-18 provided some of the most famous aircraft of the First World War – among them the E.III, the Dr.I triplane and the D.VII, regarded by many as the finest fighter of the war. In the ’20s Fokker became an aggressive and successful exporter from their new base in the Netherlands, and the success of their developing range of civil and military aircraft was trumpeted round the world with a series of record breaking flights and the success of KLM, the Royal Dutch Airline. When the war came to Euorpe again, Fokker aircraft fought in defence of the Netherlands, in Denmark, Norway, Finland and in Luftwaffe and RAF service. In 1945 the occupied Fokker factory lay in ruins. Once again a competitive company had to be built from the ground up, but ingenuity and energy brought the success of such post-war classics as the F-27 Frienship. This book, packed with rare and surpising photographs, contemporary docuemtns and colour illustrations, accurately reflects Fokker’s successes and failures in peace and war. It brings the story up to date with an independent Dutch aircraft industry once again looking to world markets and research programmes at the frontiers of technology and new aircraft such as the F-28 at the beginning of their career.

One of the most noteworthy German fighter pilots of World War I was Leutnant der Reserve Carl Degelow, whose squadron of mostly black Fokker D.VII fighters posed a formidable threat to some of Britain’s most celebrated air units on the Western Front.

Free Download Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations: Fundamentals and Applications by Till Daniel Frank
English | PDF | 2005 | 413 Pages | ISBN : 3540212647 | 2.8 MB
Providing an introduction to the theory of nonlinear Fokker-Planck equations, this book discusses fundamental properties of transient and stationary solutions, emphasizing the stability analysis of stationary solutions by means of self-consistency equations, linear stability analysis, and Lyapunov’s direct method. Also treated are Langevin equations and correlation functions. Nonlinear Fokker-Planck Equations addresses various phenomena such as phase transitions, multistability of systems, synchronization, anomalous diffusion, cut-off solutions, travelling-wave solutions and the emergence of power law solutions. A nonlinear Fokker-Planck perspective to quantum statistics, generalized thermodynamics, and linear nonequilibrium thermodynamics is given. Theoretical concepts are illustrated where possible by simple examples. The book also reviews several applications in the fields of condensed matter physics, the physics of porous media and liquid crystals, accelerator physics, neurophysics, social sciences, population dynamics, and computational physics.
