Provides a broad and accessible introduction to the field of
aerospace engineering, ideal for semester-long courses Aerospace
engineering, the field of engineering focused on the development of
aircraft and spacecraft, is taught at universities in both
dedicated aerospace engineering programs as well as in wider
mechanical engineering curriculums around the world-yet accessible
introductory textbooks covering all essential areas of the subject
are rare. Filling this significant gap in the market, Introduction
to Aerospace Engineering: Basic Principles of Flight provides
beginning students with a strong foundational knowledge of the key
concepts they will further explore as they advance through their
studies. Designed to align with the curriculum of a single-semester
course, this comprehensive textbook offers a student-friendly
presentation that combines the theoretical and practical aspects of
aerospace engineering. Clear and concise chapters cover the laws of
aerodynamics, pressure, and atmospheric modeling, aircraft
configurations, the forces of flight, stability and control,
rockets, propulsion, and more. Detailed illustrations, well-defined
equations, end-of-chapter summaries, and ample review questions
throughout the text ensure students understand the core topics of
aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, and aircraft
performance. Drawn from the author's thirty years' experience
teaching the subject to countless numbers of university students,
this much-needed textbook: Explains basic vocabulary and
fundamental aerodynamic concepts Describes aircraft configurations,
low-speed aerofoils, high-lift devices, and rockets Covers
essential topics including thrust, propulsion, performance,
maneuvers, and stability and control Introduces each topic in a
concise and straightforward manner as students are guided through
progressively more advanced material Includes access to companion
website containing a solutions manual and lecture slides for
instructors Introduction to Aerospace Engineering: Basic Principles
of Flight is the perfect "one stop" textbook for instructors,
undergraduates, and graduate students in Introduction to Aerospace
Engineering or Introduction to Flight courses in Aerospace
Engineering or Mechanical Engineering programs.
