Aviation research, sourced & cited.
Curated index of aviation-relevant research from NASA NTRS, NTSB safety studies, FAA CAMI, and academic sources. Every record links back to its original — we don't host PDFs, we describe each paper and credit the authors. Built for cross-link with the rest of Atlas: search by topic, drill into a CFR section or airframe and see the research that bears on it.

Sunspots and the physics of magnetic flux tubes. VI - Convective propulsion. VII - Heat flow in a convective downdraft
The effect of negative aerodynamic drag in an ideal fluid subject to convective instability is considered. It is shown that a cylinder moving in such a fluid is propelled forward in its motion by the convective forces an…

Sunspots and the physics of magnetic flux tubes. VIII - Overstability in a magnetic field in a downdraft
The dynamical properties of convective overstability in a vertical magnetic field with a downdraft are considered. A variety of effects is illustrated.

Ulysses field and plasma observations of magnetic holes in the solar wind and their relation to mirror-mode structures
The term 'magnetic hole' has been used to denote isolated intervals when the magnitude of the interplanetary magnetic field drops to a few tenths, or less, of its ambient value for a time that corresponds to a linear dim…
