Flightwise Vol. 2 - Aircraft Stability & Control by C. Carpenter
|
The Flightwise books provide the aviation enthusiast or professional with a deep insight into the principles of aircraft flight. They take the average reader, with no particular scientific background, through the entire spectrum of how and why an aircraft will fly. Aerodynamics is a forbidding subject, but this original explanation drives through the wall of endless calculation and mathematical theory to provide a startlingly clear, practical understanding of the forces and logic involved.
Volume 1 examines aerodynamic force, pressure and energy, explaining how the wing generates the lift required to support an aircraft in flight and how its design will vary according to the flying task involved.
Volume 2 covers the concepts and definitions of static and motional stability, including an overview of flight control followed by explanations of horizontal turns, vertical turns, pilot interface and manoeuvrability etc.
From aircraft technician to amateur enthusiast - these books provide a clear understanding of flight. For students of aeronautical engineering they offer a superb companion to the difficult text books that abound with theory - but from which little understanding of the real world of flight can be found.
Hard. 400 pages.

Flight Theory for Pilots by C. E. Dole
|
This authoritative book has been written for the typical pilot who has no engineering background and no desire to become involved with mathematical solutions but who still would like to expand his knowledge of flight theory.
It explains as simply as possible the basics of aerodynamics as they apply to flying an aeroplane. I
n some cases formulas are derived or presented but they are simplified to a great extent and a real insight into the subject can be obtained even if they are ignored completely.
Line drawings throughout. Soft. 297 pages.

Flying the Edge - by Captain Brian McAllister
|
'Flying the Edge' - by Captain Brian McAllister
...this book concentrates on the full utilisation of an aircraft's safe flight parameters. In particular it covers the subjects of low-speed flight during the take-off and the landing, including STOL aeroplanes.
Essential performance problems found in normal flying, such as the best usage of lift, the correction of faulty approach and landing, short field take-off and landing technique and the safety emergency landing procedure are covered in a clear, readable manner.
Photographs and line drawings throughout.
Hard. 224 pages.
