Classic text analyzes trajectories of aircraft, missiles, satellites, and spaceships in terms of gravitational forces, aerodynamic forces, and thrust. Topics include general principles of kinematics, dynamics, aerodynamics, propulsion; quasi-steady and non-steady flight; and applications. 1962 edition.
This book provides extensive coverage of individual topics within flight mechanics, including overviews of aerodynamics and propulsion.
Based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the US Air Force Academy, this text explains the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics.
In addition, the volume presents algorithms for calculating lift, drag, pitching moment, and stability derivatives. Throughout, a subsonic business jet is used as an example for the calculations presented in the book.
This book presents flight mechanics of aircraft, spacecraft, and rockets to technical and non-technical readers in simple terms and based purely on physical principles.
Covers all aspects of flight performance of modern day high-performance aircraft.
A single, comprehensive, in-depth treatment of both basic, and applied modern aerodynamics. Covers the fluid mechanics and aerodynamics of incompressible and compressible flows, with particular attention to the prediction of...
