Flightwise Vol. 1 - Principles of Aircraft Flight by C. Carpenter

£24.95

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.
