Book Description
The Air Force Packaging Technology Engineering Facility (AFPTEF) was tasked with the design of a new shipping and storage container for the C-17 Nose Landing Gear (NLG) in March of 2004. The new container will replace the wood crates presently used. The current containers' lack of mechanical and environmental protection prompted AFPTEF's design of a new container. The container developed, CNU-691/E, will protect the NLG mechanically and environmentally. The CNU-691/E, designed to ARF1967A, is an aluminum, long-life, controlled breathing, reusable container. The container passed all qualification tests per ASTM D4169. The CNU-691/E container will not only meet the users' requirements but will also provide an economic saving for the Air Force. The savings will be thousands of dollars over the twenty-year life span of the container.

Book Description
The Air Force Packaging Technology Engineering Facility (AFPTEF) was tasked with the design of a new shipping and storage container for the C-17 MLG Post in March of 2004. The new container is designed to replace the wood container that was previously used. The main problem with the wood design was corrosion due to inadequate environmental control and protection. In addition, there were two different container configurations to accommodate a left or right post. AFPTEF applied proven container design methods to solve the corrosion problem as well as simplified the container configuration to accept either right or left posts, eliminating the need for different containers. The CNU-677/E, designed to SAE ARP1967A, is an aluminum, long-life, controlled breathing, reusable shipping and storage container. The new container, CNU-677/E, protects the Post mechanically and environmentally. The container passed all qualification tests per ASTM D4169. The CNU-677/E container not only meets user requirements but also provides an economic saving for the Air Force. The savings will be thousands of dollars per MLG post over the twenty-year life span of the container.

Book Description
The Air Force Packaging Technology Engineering Facility (AFPTEF) was tasked with the design of a new shipping and storage container for the C-17 Radome in March of 2004. The new container is designed to replace the wood and fiberglass shell container presently used. The current containers lack of mechanical and environmental protection as well as handling issues prompted AFPTEF's design of a new container. The new container will protect the Radome both mechanically and environmentally and make it easier to maneuver during worldwide shipment and storage. The CNU-674/E, designed to SAE ARP1967A, is an aluminum, long-life, controlled breathing, reusable shipping and storage container. The new container passed all qualification tests per ASTM D4169. The CNU-674/E container will not only meet the users requirements but will also provide an economic saving for the Air Force. The savings will be thousands of dollars over the twenty-year life span of the container.

Book Description
Transportation plays a substantial role in the modern world; it provides tremendous benefits to society, but it also imposes significant economic, social and environmental costs. Sustainable transport planning requires integrating environmental, social, and economic factors in order to develop optimal solutions to our many pressing issues, especially carbon emissions and climate change. This essential multi-authored work reflects a new sustainable transportation planning paradigm. It explores the concepts of sustainable development and sustainable transportation, describes practical techniques for comprehensive evaluation, provides tools for multi-modal transport planning, and presents innovative mobility management solutions to transportation problems. This text reflects a fundamental change in transportation decision making. It focuses on accessibility rather than mobility, emphasizes the need to expand the range of options and impacts considered in analysis, and provides practical tools to allow planners, policy makers and the general public to determine the best solution to the transportation problems facing a community. Featuring extensive international examples and case-studies, textboxes, graphics, recommended reading and end of chapter questions, the authors draw on considerable teaching and researching experience to present an essential, ground-breaking and authoritative text on sustainable transport. Students of various disciplines, planners, policymakers and concerned citizens will find many of its provocative ideas and approaches of considerable value as they engage in the processes of understanding and changing transportation towards greater sustainability.
