DESCRIPTION:
Personal experience:a good introduction to aeronautics I just finished reading most of this book in my Introduction to Aeronautics class. This book covers a wide scope of knowledge on aeronautics: history, atmosphere conditions, finite wing theory, 2-dimensional flow analysis, aerodynamic performance, propulsion system, etc. Many of my childhood questions about airplanes are answered in this book in a systematic and scientific way. Meanwhile, as a sophomore who has never taken a fuild dynamic course, I still find this book to be unders. A review We are currently using this book in our Intro to Aero and Astronautics class. I have found this book to be quite helpful in understanding the basic principles of flight. It goes over the history, and all the basics of flight. Although the history of the airplane (Chapter 1) is the worst section in the book because it never ends, the rest of the book is great. They go into some depth of 2-D flow, Infinite and Finite wings, Supersonic flow, wind tunnels, and Performance. Out of all t. Very good book it is a complete book, good for who starts studing aerospace engineering. It has lots of graphics and pictures expecially about aerodynamics.
