In terms of bringing our worlds closer together the author wrote, The ethnocentric fallacy that everyone wants our way of life just because they desire our consumer goods has led to the untenable conclusion that goods like the internet, cell phones, and satellite TV are capable of transforming fundamental values and ideas.
An atmospheric temperature inversion, also known as stable conditions, may occur due to ground surface radiation thermal loss to the night sky on clear nights. The air near the ground is then cooler and cannot rise into the warmer air above. Hence the term stable.
Thrust levels will reduce (compared to a ânormalâ takeoff) to maintain a constant EGT. The higher the OAT above Tref, the greater the reduction of thrust. As a general rule, a temperature inversion of 10 degrees will result in a thrust reduction of about 10% (anywhere from 8% to 12% depending on the engine). However the loss of thrust applies at the maximum magnitude of the temperature inversion.
