A few notes on a flying saucer wake odyssey

This is a freely rewriting of the "Fast Interfaces and the Aerodynamic Smart Skin System" document (see below) in english.

It is not a translation, it is written in a more informal way and for a general public, as it was published on an internet portal dedicated to reviews of peculiar technologies and ideas coming out from the web (zzz.com issue 209)

It claims that a cognitive entity covers (or increases) its physical extension up to where it is able to treat and act on peripherical information at a speed comparable to its inner cognition processes. The contact structure between inner entity and contextual world is called "fast interface". This gives a time-processing criterion to partition (or to join, or make) "alive" entities with respect to their context world

"Fast Interfaces and the Aerodynamic Smart Skin System" is a 3 pages submission topic to a colloque

It is written in French. If you are interested in the overall topic and want to read it in english, just download the above document

The original AS3 brochure handed out at Salon Aerospatiale Le Bourget 2001

AS3 provides an Augmented Reality Tactile Environment where live airframe aerodynamic feedback is functionally mapped over the pilot's body tactile sense

Please refer to the projects section of this website to know more about the AS3

"Intrication Sujet-Objet dans la mesure de l'Information" (Subject-Object Entanglement in Information Measure) is my memory work in Cognitive Science

A fully abstract work where a functional analogy is made between inner information measure in quantum dynamics and in neural networks

Cognition is the outcome of an entanglement between information processes coming from senses (object) and resident information processes (subject)

A soft, flou and flexible approach to cognition. And some more

It is written in French. If you are interested in the topic I cannot translate it completely for you: try to read the following instead, or write me

Transparences from the presentation of "Intrication Sujet-Objet dans la mesure de l'Information"

Suggested reading before spending too much time on the actual memory

I will soon write down an operative synthesis of all this, in english, to be read in 2-3 pages

Proposals for my stage @ ACROE, Grenoble, as a conclusion of my bachelor's degree in Physics. Four experiences in intersensoriality: why, what to look for, how to do them.

Expe #1: Natacha joues: Trasposition Tactile/Auditif passive. L’espace tactile receptive est transformee/augmentee en espace auditive receptive
Expe #2: Paysage sonore: Trasposition Visuelle/Sonore active
Expe #3: Le grand coup de la PNL: Abstraitisation de l’experience sensorielle
Expe #4: Natacha reves: Un baladeur/autoconstructeur de reves à yeux, oreilles et corp ouvertes

An experimental questionnaire approach to know more about aerobatic pilots guidelines, mainly centered at finding cognitive/perceptive/action analogies that may help training (Section 2 and 3, the latter concerning pilots playing a musical instrument too).
The questionnaire was intended to be hand out at pilots participating to the World Aerobatic Championship held in 2000 at Muret, France. The board of directors showed no interest at all in allowing me do this.

Tutorial "Aerodynamic Coefficients" for the course "Prototipacion de articulos volantes" I taught at Magister "Tecnologias en Diseno", Universidad Andres Bello, Santiago de Chile, during 2nd semester 2006

Tutorial for the course "Prototipacion de articulos volantes" I taught at Magister "Tecnologias en Diseno", Universidad Andres Bello, Santiago de Chile, during 2nd semester 2006

I did myself the tutorial from a designer point of view and not a reverse engineering optics (e.g. copy an existing airplane into x-plane). As far as i could seek on the web, I did not find a single X-Plane tutorial giving the designer approach.

The tutorial focuses in building up a model flying wing. The user can therefore build the real model flying wing and verify x-plane flight behaviour.

I did myself the tutorial from a designer/test flying point of view and not on a sim jockey optics. As far as i could seek on the web, I did not find a single X-Plane tutorial giving the designer/test flying approach.

The tutorial illustrates some basic X-Plane tools (data output, force vectors visualisation, CG shift, etc.) focusing in understanding the behaviour of the flying wing built in the previous tutorial. The user can therefore build the real model flying wing and verify x-plane flight behaviour.

exactly ten years and nineteen days after I met 26-1112

(Historical Document)

This digital edition is a reproduction of my original “Ali di carta” (PaperWings) 1992 analog release. It features a custom aerodynamic, structural and flight test introduction to a paper airplane construction method I devised by myself, a well known “tandem rings” paper model (Model 0) and four models of increasing difficulty (Model 1-4) designed by myself.
Each model comes with a 1:1 scaled paper template.
