An Introduction to Aircraft Performance

Designed for aerospace engineering students, government employees responsible for certifying military and civilian aircraft, and individuals involved in aircraft accident investigation and consulting, An Introduction to Aircraft Performance provides a comprehensive and useful approach to aircraft performance issues. In addition to covering the broad area of performance, this book also examines specialized subjects such as the Ground Proximity Warning System and ice formation on aircraft on the ground or in flight.

Asselin’s veteran analysis and clear explanation of aircraft performance issues have already found their way into many university classrooms, including those of the Royal Military College of Canada. The practical applications discussed in this book will prove essential to working engineers and other individuals.
