Flight Dynamics Principles, Second Edition

                             


This book was first published and during that time there has been a modest but steady demand for the book. It is apparent that during this period there has been a growing recognition in academic circles that it is more appropriate to teach �Aircraft stability and control�� in a systems context, rather than the traditional aerodynamic context and this is a view endorsed by industry. This is no doubt due to the considerable increase in application of automatic flight control to all types of aircraft and to the ready availability of excellent computer tools for handling the otherwise complex calculations. Thus the relevance of the book is justified and this has been endorsed by positive feedback from readers all over the world. This book is primarily intended for undergraduate and post graduate students studying aeronautical subjects and those students studying avionics, systems engineering, control engineering, mathematics, etc. who wish to include some flight dynamics in their studies. Of necessity the scope of the book is limited to linearised small perturbation aircraft models since the material is intended for those coming to the subject for the first time.The classical linearised theory of the stability and control of aircraft is timeless, it is brilliant in its relative simplicity and it is very securely anchored in the domain of the aerodynamicist.

Ground Studies for Pilots: Flight Instruments and Automatic Flight Control Systems

                                                       





This volume ground studies for pilots flight instruments and automatic flight control systems sixth edition deal with those subjects covered in the 022 section of the aircraft general knowledge part of the syllabus. It continues to cover air data and gyroscopic flight instruments, compasses and inertial navigation systems. Electronic instrumentation, automatic flight control and in-flight protection systems have been included and updated, together with thrust control and power plant and system monitoring instruments. Basic principles are covered as before, but emphasis on obsolete equipment and calculations has been reduced or removed as appropriate, permitting increased coverage of modern systems. This well regarded series for students taking the commercial and airline transport pilot licenses has been substantially revised to bring it into line with the new European Joint Aviation Requirements for flight crew licensing.

Mechanics of Flight 11th Edition

                                                          

Mechanics of Flight is an ideal introduction to the principles of flight. The eleventh edition has been completely reset and the text updated to conform to current teaching practices and technical knowledge. Written in a clear jargon-free style, the book contains simple numerical examples which are suitable for students up to HND level and for first year degree students.Mechanics of Flight is an ideal introduction to the principles of flight. The eleventh edition has been updated to conform to current teaching practices and technical knowledge. Written in a clear jargon-free style, the book contains simple numerical examples. 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. 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.
