The adventures of the man who created Aladdin The Book of Travels is Ḥannā Diyāb's remarkable first-person account of his travels as a young man from his hometown of Aleppo to the court of Versailles and back again, which forever linked him to one of the most popular pieces of world literature, the Thousand and One Nights. Diyāb, a Maronite Christian, served as a guide and interpreter for the French naturalist and antiquarian Paul Lucas. Between 1706 and 1716, Diyāb and Lucas traveled through Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, Tripolitania, Tunis, Italy, and France. In Paris, Ḥannā Diyāb met Antoine Galland, who added to his wildly popular translation of the Thousand and One Nights several tales related by Diyāb, including "Aladdin" and "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." When Lucas failed to make good on his promise of a position for Diyāb at Louis XIV's Royal Library, Diyāb returned to Aleppo. In his old age, he wrote this engaging account of his youthful adventures, from capture by pirates in the Mediterranean to quack medicine and near-death experiences.Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Travels introduces readers to the young Syrian responsible for some of the most beloved stories from the Thousand and One Nights.A bilingual Arabic-English edition.

This book presents a comprehensive discussion of the mechanical modelling and control of multicopters, more commonly referred to as drones. By selecting concepts for presentation based on their ease of comprehension and suitability for practical application, the author employs a straightforward and concise approach. A main objective is to examine both the theoretical and practical aspects, as well as their interrelationship.  The book presents the fundamental functional algorithms of a multicopter flight control system, specifically:control allocation, or the distribution of a control demand among redundant actuators;low-level control loops to control rotational and vertical motion;simple guidance loops controlling the translational motion of a multicopter; andan introduction to Kalman filtering, which addresses the fusion of direct sensor measurement in order to estimate the state of the drone.These methods enable remotely piloted operation and preplanned path following.Multicopter Flight Control will be of particular interest to academic researchers and graduate students working in the field of aerospace engineering, as well as to practising engineers engaged in the development of drones and electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. It provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the fundamentals of flight control and guidance techniques, offering valuable insights for those seeking to gain a deeper understanding of these topics. In order to derive the greatest benefit from reading this monograph, readers should possess a fundamental understanding of multiple-input, multiple-output system theory, particularly state-space representation, stability and feedback control. Additionally, a basic comprehension of rotor aerodynamics and rigid-body dynamics is essential.

Dieses Buch beschreibt alle notwendigen Algorithmen, die die Lenkung und Regelung von Flächenflugzeugen bis hin zum vollautomatischen Flug ermöglichen. Für jede funktionale Komponente wird eine moderne und praktikable Herangehensweise vorgestellt. Als Voraussetzung benötigt der Leser lediglich wenige Vorkenntnisse, die sich vorwiegend auf lineare Systembeschreibungen im Zustandsraum beschränken. Dadurch ist der mathematische Zugang einfach möglich. Ein praxisnahes Beispiel zeigt die praktische Verwertbarkeit der dargestellten Verfahren.
