| Summary |
"A review of basic physical principles and vector analysis, lift, weight, thrust, drag, as well as other aviation topics as they relate to aerodynamics. This textbook takes the private and commercial student pilot through a review of basic physical principles and vector analysis and covers the four forces in flight -- lift, weight, thrust and drag, as well as other aviation topics as they relate to aerodynamics, such as the atmosphere, stability, power and performance, aircraft limitations and maneuvering flight, and stalls and spins. The 2nd Edition now includes a chapter on high-speed (transonic) aerodynamics. The authors teach aviation subjects at the University of North Dakota's Aerospace Sciences Department and also have extensive experience as military and civilian pilots and instructors. 150 pages, illustrations throughout"--Provided by publisher |
