principles of flight made easy to understand, even fascinating, to
pilots and technicians Most pilots and flight students wince at the
mention of the term "aerodynamics" because most courses and books
dealing with the subject do so using complicated scientific theory
and intricate mathematical formulas. And yet, an understanding of
aerodynamics is essential to the people who operate and maintain
airplanes. This unique introductory guide, which sold more than
20,000 copies in its first edition, proves that the principles of
flight can be easy to understand, even fascinating, to pilots and
technicians who want to know how and why an aircraft behaves as it
does. Avoiding technical jargon and complex calculations, Hubert
"Skip" Smith demonstrates how aerodynamic factors affect all
aircraft in terms of lift, thrust, drag, in-air performance,
stability, and control. Readers also get an inside look at how
modern aircraft are designed-including all the steps in the design
process, from concept to test flight and the reasoning behind them.
This edition features expanded coverage of aircraft turning and
accelerated climb performance, takeoff velocities, load and
velocity-load-factors, area rules, and hypersonic flight, as well
as the latest advances in laminar flow airfoils, wing and fuselage
design, and high-performance lightplanes. Question and answer
sections are added for classroom use.
