Product Description

Aerospace

"This tenth edition is a welcome addition to the book-shelf. . .a very readable book introducing the complexities of flight mechanics which whets the reader's interest and so forms a good stepping stone to textbooks containing more detailed analyses. Recommended!'" --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.


Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mechanics of Flight, 5 Aug 2002
This review is from: Mechanics of Flight (Paperback)
My first exposure was as a 'recommended text' during an RAF airframe engineering course. I have lived with and revisited Kermodes' Mechanics of Flight since the 1975 edition. This is a 'must have' text book, that offers access to aerodynamics without the barrier of mathematics.

This book offers firm foundations that are of equal use to engineers, pilots and aspiring graduates. This title continues to be on the top shelf of my book case.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good introduction the physics behind flight, 1 Feb 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Mechanics of Flight (Paperback)
This is more than a textbook, since it has had no trouble keeping my attention whilst I've been reading it. It makes the concepts and principles behind flight accessible and interesting to read. Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you ever wanted to know about flight, simply put., 28 May 2002
This review is from: Mechanics of Flight (Paperback)
If you just want to know how aircraft work, but are put off by the endless equations that seem to go with an understanding, this is the book for you. A straightforward, extrememly readable book that tells you, almost conversationally, how it all happens. For anyone with a serious interest in aviation, this is a definite must-read.
