Flight Theory and Aerodynamics: A Practical Guide for Operational Safety, 2nd Edition |
| Charles E. Dole; James E. Lewis |
| The classic text for pilots on flight theory and aerodynamicsÂnow in an updated Second EditionFlight Theory and Aerodynamics, the basic aeronautics text used by the United States Air Force in their Flying Safety Officer course, is the book that brings the science of flight into the cockpit. Designed for the student with little engineering or mathematical background, the book outlines the basic principles of aerodynamics and physics, using only a minimal amount of high schoolÂlevel algebra and trigonometry necessary to illustrate key concepts.
This expanded seventeen chapter Second Edition reflects the cutting edge of aeronautic theory and practice, and has been revised, reorganized, and updated with 30% new informationÂincluding a new chapter on helicopter flight. Central to the bookÂs structure is a clear description of aeronautic basicsÂwhat lifts and drives an aircraft, and what forces work for and against itÂall detailed in the context of the design and analysis of todayÂs aircraft systems: *Atmosphere and airspeed measurement *Airfoils and aerodynamic forces *Lift and drag *Jet aircraft basic and applied performance *Prop aircraft basic and applied performance *Slow and high-speed flight *Takeoff, landing, and maneuvering performance
