About this title

Review:

"This tenth edition is a welcome addition to the book-shelf. . .a very readable book introducing the complexities of flight mechanics which whets the reader's interest and so forms a good stepping stone to textbooks containing more detailed analyses. Recommended!'" -- Aerospace

From the Back Cover:

Features deals with transonic and supersonic speeds and finally, missiles, satellites and spacecraft non-numerical questions test

basic understanding This book is essential reading for all student pilots and students on BTEC NC/D, HNC/D and degree courses in aeronautical and aerospace engineering. It is also very useful for aircraft engineering apprentices.
