Designed to prepare students to become aeronautical engineers who can face new and challenging situations. Retaining the same philosophy as the two preceding editions, this update emphasizes basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques along with typical stability and control realities. This edition features a full set of exercises and a complete Solution's Manual. In keeping with current industry practice, flight equations are presented in dimensional state-vector form. The chapter on closed-loop control has been greatly expanded with details on automatic flight control systems. Uses a real jet transport (the Boeing 747) for many numerical and worked-out examples. Booknews A text in flight mechanics for aeronautical engineering students, emphasizing basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques, and typical stability and control realities. This revised edition (second was 1982) uses a real jet transport (the Boeing 747) for many numerical examples and includes exercises for students to work in most chapters. Annotation c.
