Aircraft Performance (Cambridge Aerospace Series)
Product Review "recommended as an adjunct to applied aerodynamics texts, and as a reference for design work.a worthwhile addition to the libraries of aeronautical engineers who have an interest in aircraft performance, or who are professionally concerned with this subject. Institutional libraries, and academicians in the aeronautical field, might seriously consider acquiring this book since it is an up to date publication on the subject." James B. Eades, Jr., Applied Mechanics Review "What a pleasure it is to welcome a book on performance which has all the necessary virtues. It sets sensible boundaries and inside them it is comprehensive, well balanced and well written." H.Y. Ratcliffe, Aeronautical Journal Product Description This book describes the principles and equations required for evaluating the performance of an aircraft. After introductory chapters on the atmosphere, basic flight theory, and drag, the book goes on to consider in detail the estimation of climbing performance, the relevant characteristics of power plants, takeoff and landing performance, range, and turning performance. Reader Reviews This is an outstanding "all-in-one" reference for phenomenological modeling of aircraft performance. The book makes no assumptions of reader background, starting from rudimentary aerodynamics and working up through advanced flight chracteristics such as V/STOL and supermaneuverability. The notation and approach is consistent throughout, and I alwasy seem to find a new gem every time I return to the book. I would highly recommend the text for an undergraduate aero course or as one piece of a more comprehensive graduate seminar. The only deficiency in my opinion is a rather light treatment of propoulsion and a tendency to focus on commerical and subsonic examples to the exclusion of high performance aircraft.
