DESCRIPTION:
The book is also a valuable reference for engineers working in the aerospace industry.. By progressively building on the formulation and solution of simpler problems associated with aircraft performance, static stability, and control, the author guides readers from fundamental principles to the development of the general equations of motion and continues through dynamic stability, aircraft handling qualities, and flight simulation. Moreover, the text offers an array of modern and classical techniques for solving a broad range of
He has also authored more than sixty scientific journal publications on thermal fluid science, aerodynamics, and flight mechanics. PHILLIPS, PHD, is a Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Utah State University. Dr. . Phillips has more than thirty-five years of experience teaching engineering an
Students and practicing engineers who are familiar with the principles of static stability and control can begin the study of flight dynamics in Chapter 7, starting with a review of coordinate systems and notation as well as a development of the more general rigid-body equations of motion.Mechanics of Flight is an essential volume for mechanical and aerospace engineering students and a valuable reference for practicing engineers in the aerospace industry.. This complete instructional reference offers a full range of modern and classica
A Customer said If you study or design aircraft, you must have this book. "Mechanics of Flight" will become a classic in the aerodynamicist's library alongside Abbott and Von Doenhoff's "Theory of Wing Sections". Here's why:* Coverage of topics in aircraft design is exhaustive. From balancing lift and weight for steady flight, on through off axis forces and moments from running propellers, to 6-dof formulas for . The Complete Resource for Engineers, Pilots & Homebuilders B. Santana "Mechanics of Flight" is an excellent textbook for students of aeronautics as well as an invaluable reference for engineers practicing in aerospace, experimental homebuilders, and pilots having a flare for science. The subject matter is well-organized, thorough in coverage, comprehensively indexed, and has an impressive bibliography. There. An absolute masterpiece! N. Alley Warren Phillips has broken the mold with this book. I am currently a Doctoral candidate in aerospace engineering and I found his use of examples and ability to clearly explain complex topics to be unparalleled in any other text. Myths and misunderstandings about flight mechanics that have propagated down through decades of other texts are
