FLIGHT THEORY AND AERODYNAMICS GET A PILOT'S PERSPECTIVE ON FLIGHT
AERODYNAMICS FROM THE MOST UP-TO-DATE EDITION OF A CLASSIC TEXT The
newly revised Fourth Edition of Flight Theory and Aerodynamics
delivers a pilot-oriented approach to flight aerodynamics without
assuming an engineering background. The book connects the
principles of aerodynamics and physics to their practical
applications in a flight environment. With content that complies
with FAA rules and regulations, readers will learn about
atmosphere, altitude, airspeed, lift, drag, applications for jet
and propeller aircraft, stability controls, takeoff, landing, and
other maneuvers. The latest edition of Flight Theory and
Aerodynamics takes the classic textbook first developed by Charles
Dole and James Lewis in a more modern direction and includes
learning objectives, real world vignettes, and key idea summaries
in each chapter to aid in learning and retention. Readers will also
benefit from the accompanying online materials, like a test bank,
solutions manual, and FAA regulatory references. Updated graphics
included throughout the book correlate to current government agency
standards. The book also includes: A thorough introduction to basic
concepts in physics and mechanics, aerodynamic terms and
definitions, and the primary and secondary flight control systems
of flown aircraft An exploration of atmosphere, altitude, and
airspeed measurement, with an increased focus on practical
applications Practical discussions of structures, airfoils, and
aerodynamics, including flight control systems and their
characteristics In-depth examinations of jet aircraft fundamentals,
including material on aircraft weight, atmospheric conditions, and
runway environments New step-by-step examples of how to apply math
equations to real-world situations Perfect for students and
instructors in aviation programs such as pilot programs, aviation
management, and air traffic control, Flight Theory and Aerodynamics
will also appeal to professional pilots, dispatchers, mechanics,
and aviation managers seeking a one-stop resource explaining the
aerodynamics of flight from the pilot's perspective.
