DESCRIPTION:
A Qualitative Treatment of Flight Mechanics B. Santana This book is a good read on flight mechanics but is somewhat cursory in it's treatment of topics. The author's style makes for easy reading, albeit spelling and grammar is very British. The examples, graphs and what mathematics is presented in the book are in metric units. For the size of the book the author covers a broad range of subjects. He has a fluid style . "Excellent Book on Mechanics of Flight" according to Elijah Chingosho. "Mechanics of Flight" is an excellent book on the introduction to the principles of flight. The book gives a comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics on mechanics and principles of flight including air and airflow characteristics, aerofoils, thrust for flight, level flight, gliding, take-off and landing, aircraft performance, manoeuvres, stability and con. Relevance to pilots pilot 1988 With easy to follow explanations and numerical examples, the Mechanics of Flight 10 th Edn is an excellent book for pilots wanting to further understand the theoretical principles of flight. For aspiring pilots with a good grasp of mechanics (high-school level Physics in Australia) or trainee pilots with a grasp of basic aerodynamics, this book will be immediatel

The authors have also provided the recent and current revisions of Mechanics of Flight. The book commences with a summary of the relevant aspects of mechanics, and goes on to cover topics such as air and airflow, aerofoils, thrust, level flight, gliding, landing, performance, manoeuvres and stability and control. The eleventh edition has been completely reset and the text updated to conform to current teaching practices and technical knowledge. Non-numerical
Important aspects of these topics are illustrated by a description of a trial flight in a light aircraft. The book also deals with flight at transonic and supersonic speeds, and finally orbital flight and spacecraft..
