Aircraft Performance Engineering in Practice: From Forces and Energy to Real Flight Missions (Aircraft Principles) - Softcover
Book 1 of 2: Aircraft Principles
Synopsis
Aircraft Performance Engineering in Practice is a practical guide to understanding, analysing, and applying aircraft performance from an engineering perspective.
Aircraft performance is not a collection of isolated numbers. It is the result of forces, energy, atmosphere, propulsion, configuration, mass, and operational constraints interacting throughout a mission. This book explains how those factors connect—and how to turn them into useful engineering decisions.
Starting with the fundamentals of aerodynamics, propulsion, atmosphere, and aircraft forces, you will develop the tools to analyse:
- Take-off and landing performance
- Climb, descent, and cruise
- Stall, drag, thrust, and excess power
- Range, endurance, and fuel usage
- Ceiling and atmospheric effects
- Field performance and operating margins
- Configuration, weight, and centre-of-gravity effects
- Mission-level performance and trade-offs
The emphasis is on understanding what the calculations mean, what assumptions they depend on, and how the results should be interpreted. Equations are supported by clear explanations, worked examples, tables, diagrams, and performance plots so that the underlying relationships are easier to see.
Python-based examples and visualisations help readers explore how changes in mass, altitude, configuration, propulsion setting, and environmental conditions affect aircraft behaviour. The methods can be adapted to many aircraft categories without relying on fictional aircraft or type-specific operating data.
This is not a pilot operating manual and it does not replace an aircraft flight manual, performance manual, or approved operational data. It is an engineering-focused book for aerospace and aeronautical engineering students, early-career engineers, flight-test professionals, designers, analysts, and technically minded readers who want to understand not only what an aircraft can do, but why.
