Book Description
Prepares aeronautical engineers to face new and challenging
situations with confidence by providing them with the necessary
knowledge to keep pace with the state of flight mechanics. This
book emphasizes the basic principles rooted in the physics of
flight, essential analytical techniques, and typical stability and
control realities.
Synopsis
This revised text maintains the authors' philosophy of emphasizing
the basic principles of the physics of flight, essential
analytical techniques, and typical stability and control
realities. The addition of homework problems and a solutions
manual enhance its usefulness. The many worked examples utilize
real airplanes: the Boeing 747; a general aviation airplane; and a
STOL airplane. The increased importance of automatic control (AFCS)
is reflected in a much-expanded chapter on this subject that
prepares the student for work with stability augmentation (SAS),
autopilots and guidance systems.
