Beschreibung:
This book contains a synthesis of the fundamental disciplines and applications involved in the description and analysis of aircraft flight. It covers introductions into the fields of atmospheric properties, applied aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, flight performance, and stability and control. Since it emphasizes the practical side of flight physics, attention is duly paid to the historical development of aviation and specific aeronautical technologies.
The essential interdependence of subjects from several disciplines has been emphasized;
History of Aviation.- to Atmospheric Flight.- Low-Speed Aerodynamics.- Lift and Drag at Low Speeds.- Aircraft Engines and Propulsion.- Aeroplane Performance.- Stability and Control.- Helicopter Flight Mechanics.- High-Speed Flight.
