Aircraft Flight provides accurate physical, rather than mathematical, descriptions of the principles of aircraft flight. This popular text gives mechanical engineering and aeronautical engineering students a useful introduction to the subject. The fourth edition has been updated to include important recent developments such as unmanned air vehicles and the low orbit space-plane
This well-established textbook has been fully reviewed and updated by a new author to ensure a modern coverage of the contents in depth. A new unique introduction has been written, giving ship types together with their general characteristics, to indicate to the reader actual or typical sizes of modern day merchant vessels.Four new chapters have been added dealing with Ship Squat, the Deadweigh…
Guiding a craft using one of the oldest of the mariner's arts-celestial navigation As romantic--sounding as sailing to Tahiti did centuries ago, using the sun, moon, planets, and stars to guide one's boat on the seas is enjoying a comeback. For those who do not wish to be caught short when modern technology fails on board, knowing how to chart a path with the aid of a sextant is an essential na…
The study of flight dynamics requires a thorough understanding of the theory of the stability and control of aircraft, an appreciation of flight control systems and a comprehensive grounding in the theory of automatic control. Flight Dynamics provides all three in an accessible and student focussed text. Written for those coming to the subject for the first time the book is suitable as a comple…
This book provides an exhaustive approach to Aerospace Engineering & Aerodynamics. Abstract: This book provides an exhaustive approach to Aerospace Engineering & Aerodynamics
The purpose of this text is to present methods for computing 'ball-park' numbers of tability and control derivatives for conventional, tail-aft airplanes in subsonic flight. Such methods are particularly valuable when doing parametric or preliminary design studies of stability and control characteristics of airplanes. For class-room purposes and design project exercises, experience at The Unive…
