English and French editions. 135pp, charts. This book may be of some historic significance. Written at the end of WWII, it was the world’s first textbook on supersonic aerodynamics and jet propulsion. Although crudely reproduced by mimeograph process, it received excellent reviews in the scientific community. An Appendix provides data on the NACA Standard Atmosphere, properties of air at subsonic and supersonic speeds, and conditions before and after shock. Aero Digest, December, 1947 said: "A very useful outline treatment of compressible-fluid mechanics, transonic and supersonic aerodynamics, turboprop, turbojet, and ramjet systems, rocket power plants … The formulas, tables, sketches, and diagrams supply the student and working engineer with the most complete selection of material on high speed flight yet produced". Aeronautical Engineering Review (Institute of Aeronautical Sciences) June 1947 said: "The book can be recommended as an excellent presentation. The author was formerly assistant to the director of research of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics". At the time he wrote this book Conway was a 27 year old engineer with experience working for the early NACA (the agency which later became NASA) organization at the Langley lab in Virginia, at HQ in Washington, and at the Ames lab in California. At Ames he was project engineer on tests of the Navy’s first jet-propelled fighter. Control of Airplane Flight Path by Propulsive Jets.

With scant public attention, Congress is about to determine the permanent status of hundreds of Pacific island territories administered by the U.S. since World War II. The action could have the effect of adding several new states perhaps opening new development opportunities and certainly adding new costs for the taxpayer. Site Selection, April 1985. pp. 554-561. "Ocean Science Projects: Will They Emerge as Prime Global Investment Opportunities?" German scientists propose "energy" islands of floating platforms covered with photovoltaic cells.

"IDRC Set to Assume Greater Role in Geo-Economic Research." The executive director of IDRC explores the potential for a massive new geo-economic research program. Industrial Development, Jan.-Feb. 1985. pp. 74-75. "The Megatech Industries: What Determines Their Location?" What are the essential components of a Silicon Valley or a Route 128 complex? Do the location factors for R&D activities cover the production of CPUs, peripherals and software? Is the mix changing? Site Selection, June 1985. pp. 626-635. "Time to Reconsider Fly-In Sites?" Check your future corporate geography: What is the chance that you can move executives door-to-door between your plants and offices as fast in 1996 as you can today? If you're faced with a deteriorating situation caused by urban congestion and slow ground travel, fly-in sites may offer a bright solution. Site Selection, Dec. 1985. pp. 1162-1165. "What Happened to Fly-in Projects?" It has been a time of trial and tribulation for almost all types of large-scale land development projects. In particular, the "fly-in" projects built on airports have ...suffered from ...factors peculiar to airport projects. Site Selection, Dec. 1985. p. 1140. "Canada's NAPLPS Program Spurs Growth of Important New Electronics Industry."

Site Selection, June 1985. pp. 652-654. "A Fresh Ooutlook for France?" Traditionalists say that France and the French never change. But, of course, they do. France may at the moment, in fact, be laying the groundwork for a significant new phase of development. New Disney site. Site Selection, Oct. 1985. pp. 1104-1114. "China: the Sleeping Giant."

Site Selection, April 1985. p. 294. "Will Long-awaited EEC Status Bring New Industrial Opportunities for Spain?" For many types of industrial projects site seekers have skipped Spain in favor of other European areas. Now ...there may be significant opportunities for new service industries and diversified manufacturing to complement the already flourishing tourist industry. Site Selection, Dec. 1985. pp. 1422-1427. "The Free World's Secret Weapon Is Revealed." For a long time it appeared to be an extremely well-kept secret. Prominent politicians around the world didn't know it existed or couldn't recognize it. We refer to that economic super bomb called Private Enterprise a weapon capable of reducing to shambles the defenses of nations which depend on state control of enterprises. Site Selection, Aug. 1985. "We Need a National Referendum!" A national referendum would permit every voter to express his or her views on a list of, say, 10 key issues...The results would be tallied and published in the Congressional Record for all to see. Site Selection, Oct. 1985. p. 868. "Launch! Launch! Launch!" We can't afford more delays with the space shuttle program.

"Planning Vacuum at DOT?" Is it possible that DOT cannot assist facility planners in identifying present and future points of congestion on the interstate system?

"The Problem Voter," Site Selection, Oct. 1986, and monograph. "Greece: A New Climate for Investment?" For more than a decade, Greece has had a political climate which repelled many investors. Now, there are signs of change the views of the private sector are being noted and positive steps are being taken. Site Selection, Dec. 1986. pp. 1552-1555. "The State of Jalisco Lures Investors." IBM's recent choice of a site at El Salto, near Guadalajara, for its big new computer plant is focusing fresh attention on this state situated in the heartland of Mexico. Long a favorite of U.S. tourists and retirees, Jalisco has quietly attracted more than $1 billion in U.S. industrial investments. Site Selection, April 1986. pp. 522-528. "Baja California del Sur Growing Too Fast or Too Slow?" Is Mexico's Baja del Sur a state destined for greatness or just a dead-end hideaway for a few tourists? While opportunity pounds on the door, is the area dozing? Here's a fresh look by a gringo engineer who has been scanning the area's growth potential for 25 years. Site Selection, Oct. 1986. pp. 1224-1226. "Will Two-loop Cities Dominate Future Site Selection?" During the past decade hundreds of site decisions have left no doubt that circumferential freeways are a powerful magnet in drawing new business facilities to certain metro areas. Now, it is argued that proposed new outer loops may become an even more important development attraction in those areas where government entities can get together and build them. Site Selection, June 1986. pp. 582-588. "Thanks for Helping Us Pick the Superlatives!" Site Selection begins its 31st year.

Site Selection, April 1986. pp. 280-288. (Summarized in the monograph, "A Technology Review and Forecast for Development Strategists.") "Good Life Index: Now It's Here to Stay!" Early checklists of facility location factors listed quality of life items at the bottom, among incidentals. Today, for many facilities, QOL evaluations determine location decisions. Site Selection, Aug. 1986. p.772. "Terrorism: Growing Factor in Location Decisions." Recent events reveal all too starkly the clouds which hang over development programs in many parts of the world. Business travelers, investors and facility planners must be concerned not only with traditional war risk and political risk, but also with the added risk of bombings, assassinations, hijackings and taking of hostages carried out by international terrorist groups. Site Selection, Aug. 1986. pp. 952-956. "Crisis in Corporate Facility Planning!" One of the most critical issues facing corporate management today is the necessity for providing flexibility in future facility plans. Firms which ignore this warning may find themselves unable to compete and survive in the years just ahead. Site Selection, Dec. 1986. p. 1256. "The Bahamas. When Will the Time Come?" Always a tourist magnet, noted as a convenient off-shore financial haven, the Bahamas have enjoyed only limited success in attracting large-scale diversified investment in manufacturing, processing and support industries. Is such development a realistic expectation? Site Selection, June 1986. pp. 752-756. "A Technology Review and Forecast for Development Strategists," 1986. Monograph. "Super Projects 1986." With many of the world's nations suffering through economic slumps and debt crises, it might be assumed that the global agenda for huge, complex, multi-billion dollar ventures might have dried up. Yet the latest survey reveals a long list of new and exciting projects ranging from trans-atmospheric vehicles to Super Colliders. Site Selection, Feb. 1986. pp. 214-220. "Looking into the Facility Planner's Fabulous Future." In celebration of Site Selection's first 30 years we have made a new technological forecast. Included is a summary of future events and discoveries considered most likely to impact corporate facility planning and area economic development. Site Selection, June 1986. pp. 566-580. "True Professionals Don't Ignore Technology Forecasts!" There are some executives who ignore predictions of technical breakthroughs allocating them to the status of cocktail conversation topics or themes for sci-fi movies. They treat the future as if it will never happen. Consequently, life is full of surprises, sometimes very rude ones. Site Selection, June 1987. p. 552. "The Role of Private Enterprise." One of the greatest myths extant today is that government regulatory agencies and community action groups prevent the destruction of our environment by greedy corrupt corporations. The fact is that responsible private interests do most of the significant conservation work, despite obstacles placed in their way by petty bureaucrats and self- appointed experts. Site Selection, Dec. 1987. p. 1220. "Switzerland Attracts Industry the Old-fashioned Way." How does a small, landlocked nation surrounded by competitors manage to survive and prosper in the race to attract new growth? Energetic Swiss cantons do it with a reliable work force and high productivity. Site Selection, Feb. 1987. pp. 234-235. "Taiwan Competes Boldly in High-tech World." Few small nations have made as much progress as the Republic of China in developing industries based on advanced technologies. True, many Taiwan products are clones of U.S. prototypes, but new programs will yield more Taiwan originals. The science-based industrial park at Hsinchu is a vital element. Site Selection, June 1987. pp. 742-744. "Singapore a World-class Development Model." Of all the 100-plus small nations around the world, none has done a better job of implementing development than this city-state. After a five-year interval, we returned to find a new global airport, beautiful new high-speed expressways, clusters of new industrial estates and housing, the world's tallest hotel, several dozen gleaming high-rise office centers and a bustling science park. Site Selection, June 1987. pp. 738-40. "New Zealand: a State of Indecision." This beautiful land down under offers many desirable quality-of-life factors, yet it does not rank high in the eyes of global investors. One explanation is that the average New Zealander is so content with the present that he doesn't worry much about plans and projects for the future. Site Selection, Aug. 1987. pp. 804-808. "Indonesia: the World's Least-known Development Giant?" The great archipelago once known as the Spice Islands is now the fifth largest nation in the world, with a population of more than 160 million spread across a Seattle/Miami distance. Almost unknown to many investors, this emerging nation presents huge opportunities with problems to match. Site Selection, Oct. 1987. pp. 1022-1026.

One of the key states in Mexico, Guerrero boasts some world-famous tourist destinations, but little else. Now, development strategists ponder the prospect for bringing "maquiladoras," or twin plants, to the hinterland and, perhaps, new high-tech services. Site Selection, April 1987. pp. 540-542. Facility Planning Technology. A selection of over 200 articles contributed by what resembles a "who's who" of the corporate real estate and industrial development profession.

"The New Basic Industries: Have You Revised Your Strategy?" A recent IDRC seminar discussed the concept that knowledge is now the world currency, and the top facility location factor is where the brains are. To this we add that factories that produce ideas and data are the new basic industries. Site Selection. April 1987. p. 252. "Privatization: Be Sure to Read the Instructions!" The tried and true American private enterprise system that we couldn't give away 25 years ago has a new name: "privatization." And, it's suddenly the straw at which many a floundering socialist bureaucrat from darkest Africa to main street USA is grasping. Even Soviet planners are succumbing to the charm of the "new" concept. Site Selection. Oct.1987. p. 956. "Enter the Super Metros!!!" The preferred life style of most Americans involves a homesite in a quiet suburb, small town or rural area with a job just a few minutes away, plus easy access in less than an hour to all of the sophisticated services of a large metro complex. The area planning teams which provide for this style will be the big winners in the site competitions of the next decade. Enter the super metros! Site Selection, Aug. 1987. p. 756. "R&D Clusters." Where do they occur? Why have they developed? What are new locations to watch? 1987. Monograph. "Atlanta as a World Class City." What is a world class city? The city/hinterland link.

"The Super Collider Show: Who Will Make the Cut?" It's bigger than the District of Columbia, will cost $6 billion and has 25 states spending millions to promote sites. The DOE's search for a supercollider site is stirring what may be the biggest location battle ever. Site Selection, Dec. 1987. pp. 1234-1235. "Turkey Offers Strategic Location on Intercontinental Trade routes." Where once Byzantium flourished as the center of the civilized world, Istanbul now claims increasing importance as the crossroads of Europe, Asia and the Middle East. New political changes make a more open society and a better climate for new investment. Site Selection, April 1987. pp. 536-538. "To Compete Globally, Business Must Choose Optimum Sites." Some of the most dangerous ideas to be debated by the new Congress deal with restrictions on the right of industrial firms to select economically attractive sites or to close plants which have become uneconomic. Such proposals ignore the reality of world competition. Site Selection, Feb. 1987. p. 4. "What's the Biggest Obstacle to Progress from (Name Withheld USA) to Naushki, Siberia, USSR?" An international traveler finds that petty bureaucracy can rear its ugly head in a small airport in the USA as easily as it can aboard the Trans-Siberian Express. Site Selection, April 1988. p. 544. "Private Investment Instead of Government Aid: Can the New MIGA Plan Speed Global Shift?"

Site Selection, Aug. 1988. p. 828. "Education: Key to America's Future." If we are to compete with the Japanese and Western Europe we must do a much better job of educating our young people and retraining our older workers. Gwinnett Daily News. Aug. 17, 1988. "Skyrocketing Business Risks Hurt Consumer and Taxpayer." In this season of hyperbole and demagoguery, it's not likely that political leaders will come up with creative new policies for handling such hot potatoes as asbestos removal. Hopefully, however, the next administration will develop a rational policy for mitigating extraordinary business risks. Site Selection, Oct. 1988. p. 1068. "Antarctica Research Facility for the World." The global programs underway in Antarctica today constitute the most significant cooperative international research venture in the history of the world. (Report on field trip to visit research stations.) Site Selection. June 1988. pp. 618-628. "R&D Clusters." In 1962 Conway Data conducted a study in which we sought to identify existing clusters of R&D activity and to predict where new clusters might emerge. During 1987-88 we examined results and found that most of the centers predicted to emerge have done so. Gwinnett Daily News, Nov. 16, 1988. "Outer Loop Could Focus World Attention on Metro Area." Some of the keenest observers of trends in urban planning believe that the "two loop" cities of the world will dominate future development patterns. Site Selection, October 1988. "Changes in the South." When I was a student at Georgia Tech during the late 1930s Gwinnett County was a place out in the country where people grew cotton. Now my neighbors create satellite equipment and other sophisticated systems for customers around the world. Gwinnett Daily News. June 15, 1988.

Site Selection, Feb. 1988. pp. 18-19. "Why Joe Lost His Job." It's a jungle out there. We all know that. Nothing is absolutely guaranteed. Even the biggest companies fall flat. And a great many are trimming management costs, especially in staff areas. Even so, Joe might have survived the cuts. Site Selection, April 1988. p. 276. "Are You Building Your Own Personal Data Base?" The most important data base you will ever have to consult is the one between your ears. Just about everything to which you aspire depends on it. Are you giving it the attention it deserves? Gwinnett Daily News, Dec. 21, 1988. "Where Will You Land after the Merger?" The time to make your job secure is before the blood-letting starts.

"Is Chile Poised for Takeoff?" The economic well-being of this unusual nation for the rest of the century may well rest on the plebiscite to be held soon. If Chile comes through with a broader constitutional base and stronger public approval, prospects for economic development will be bright. Favorable factors include a wealth of forest, ocean and mineral resources, a resort climate, and an alert population reflecting strong European influence. Site Selection, Aug. 1988. pp. 880-884. "Argentina: Will a New Capital Help?" Raul Alfonsin, Argentina's precedent-shattering president, says the nation has been stagnating in a sea of confusion.

"New Caledonia and Fiji: Question Marks in the South Pacific." Will New Caledonia remain a French territory or, like so many Pacific island groups, become a small new independent nation? Can newly independent Fiji achieve political stability? In any event, what kinds of opportunities do they offer outside investors? Site Selection. Feb.1988. pp. 58-60. "In the years ahead it is a certainty that there will be revolutionary changes in the way we travel. Those who have any doubt that sweeping changes will affect the lives of most citizens living today need only glance backward at innovations that took place in the last 30 years." Gwinnett Daily News, July 20, 1988. "Rio: the Capital Is Gone but Life Goes on." A quarter-century ago Brazil decided to move its seat of government from this world-famous city to Brasilia, a raw site in the hinterland. It was one of the boldest development decisions any government has made. Political experts predicted chaos and economists forecast ruin. Despite all the gloom and doom talk, the plan seems to be working and gaining strength every day. Site Selection, Dec. 1988. pp. 372-374. "Changes in Europe Overtake Business World." The dramatic collapse of the communist regimes of Eastern Europe has caught all of the experts flat-footed. Gwinnett Daily News, Dec. 20, 1989. "Site Planners Take Note!"

Site Selection, April 1989. p. 276. "Does Your Real Estate Setup Make Your Company a Takeover Target?" Experts in the takeover game have discovered that the real estate department is the Achilles heel of many large corporations. Unmanaged or under-managed properties have become a major lure.

"New FAA Wayport Proposal Could Be Site Breakthrough Opening Opportunities for 21st Century Development," Site Selection, June 1989. p. 626. "Air Terrorism Spawns New Award."

"Business Needs to Concern Itself with Air Terrorism." With peace breaking out all over the world, it appears that the likelihood of a major world war is smaller than it has been for decades. At the same time, terrorism looms as a continuing global risk for which the world does not yet have an answer. Gwinnett Daily News, Nov. 1989. "State's Best Minds Needed to Plan Outer Loop." In the legislative session just ended, the Georgia General Assembly authorized the beginning of work on the most important highway project in the state's history. That is the long-heralded outer perimeter. Gwinnett Daily News, April 19, 1989. "Rethinking Urban Plan." Is it time to divorce high-rise offices and regional shopping centers?

Site Selection, Feb. 1989. pp. 258-260. "Unique Brunei!" Around the world there are many small nations. Some are in remote locations. Most are new at self government. A few are rich. Brunei is all of those things and more a fascinating geo-political anomaly. Site Selection, Oct. 1989. pp. 1192-94. "Yokohama Bets on 'Minato Mirai' Project." Building a world's fair or Olympic games complex and then converting it to everyday use is a formula used successfully by many cities.

Among these developments are computer-controlled traffic lights, satellite positioning systems, navigation displays, radar controlled "car trains" and robot-driven vehicles. Gwinnett Daily News, March 15, 1989. "Forecasting Change Can Mean Life or Death." A generation ago, when things moved more slowly, the economic system was more tolerant of companies that failed to anticipate change. Today, failure to anticipate change can be abruptly fatal. Gwinnett Daily News, June 21, 1989. "Disaster Planning Vital for All Businesses." Planning for the future typically involves forecasting trends in technology, demographics and social patterns. However, futurists must never forget events which may not be positive. Gwinnett Daily News, July 12, 1989. "Technology Makes Long-term Plans Obsolete." How far into the future does it make sense to project your company's plans? There was a time when large corporations had formal plans for 10 years ahead, and some prepared 20-year plans. Today few firms attempt to develop operating plans covering more than five years and many consider a two-year plan to be long range. Gwinnett Daily News, Aug. 9, 1989.

While in Tokyo recently, we learned more about the proposal of a major engineering firm, Ohbayashi, to build a 500-story high-rise building that would be a city within itself.
