Flight Performance of Aircraft

This important book describes the basic forces that dictate and decide the performance of an aircraft. Primarily written for undergraduate and graduate students of aeronautical and space engineering, this book will also serve pilots and flight-test engineers who are seeking answers to the interesting and important questions of flight mechanics.

Flight Performance of Aircraft is an academic book that directly corresponds to real-life situations. This self-contained book presents performance analysis of almost all the phases of flight--including takeoff, climb, cruise, turn, descent, and landing. To enhance the reader’s confidence in dealing with these topics and others, a list of problems is provided at the end of each chapter to encourage problem solving and theory comprehension. In addition, the book includes hundreds of figures, sketches, tables, charts, and references that reinforce and complement the text.
