About this title

Synopsis:

An ideal introduction to the principles of the mechanics of flight. Beginning with a summary of the mechanics of flight, it goes on to cover various aspects such as air and airflow, aerofoils, thrust, level flight, gliding, landing, performance, manoeuvres and stability and control.

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
