Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, 2011. - 1 online resource (416 pages)
Includes bibliographical references (page 385) and index.
Cover; CONTENTS; LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS; LIST OF MATLAB M-FILES; PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS; 1 Aircraft Components and Subsystems; 2 Fluid Mechanics and Aerodynamics; 3 Aircraft Translational Kinematics, Attitude, Aerodynamic Forces and Moments; 4 Propulsion Systems; 5 Prelude to Steady Flight Analysis; 6 Aircraft Steady Gliding Longitudinal Flight; 7 Aircraft Cruise in Steady Level Longitudinal Flight; 8 Aircraft Steady Longitudinal Flight; 9 Aircraft Steady Level Turning Flight; 10 Aircraft Steady Turning Flight; 11 Aircraft Range and Endurance in Steady Flight. 12 Aircraft Maneuvers and Flight Planning13 From Steady Flight to Flight Dynamics; Appendix A: The Standard Atmosphere Model; Appendix B: End-of-Chapter Problems; REFERENCES; INDEX.
This undergraduate textbook offers a unique introduction to steady flight and performance for fixed-wing aircraft from a twenty-first-century flight systems perspective. Emphasizing the interplay between mathematics and engineering, it fully explains the fundamentals of aircraft flight and develops the basic algebraic equations needed to obtain the conditions for gliding flight, level flight, climbing and descending flight, and turning flight. It covers every aspect of flight performance, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, flight ceiling, maximum.
