You picked up this book because you have bought 3 planners this year, set 12 alarms, and still watched the day dissolve by 10 a.m. You are not lazy. Your brain runs on a different operating system, 1 where working memory slips, time feels elastic, and motivation arrives only when a task feels rewarding. Advice built for neurotypical brains keeps failing you for a reason. It was never built for you.This book is not a discipline manual or a collection of motivational quotes about try...

Although the overall appearance of modern airliners has not changed a lot since the introduction of jetliners in the 1950s, their safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have improved considerably. Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, advanced materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO...
