Dedicated chapters and appendices cover atmospheric and space flight, various categories and classes of aircraft, terrestrial atmosphere, and many special topics. Readers learn about air properties and measurements; the basic laws of classical mechanics, including rigid-body and fluid dynamics; and geometric and aerodynamic characteristics of lifting surfaces. The book addresses gravitational, aerostatic, and aerodynamic forces, aerospace propulsion, aircraft performance, and flight dynamics, including stability, control, maneuverability, and flying qualities. Additional material covers high-speed flight and special topics in fixed-wing, rotary-wing, powered-lift, and lighter-than-air aircraft. The closing chapter covers select aspects of space flight, including rocket propulsion theory, launch vehicles, and the fundamental orbital mechanics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned to provide undergraduate students with an essential overview of important concepts, \u003cem\u003eIntroduction to Theory of Flight \u003c\/em\u003eis an exemplary resource for courses and programs in aeronautics, aviation, aerospace and mechanical engineering and technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nihad Daidzic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cognella Academic Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 1.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798823336949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eDaidzic, Nihad:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Nihad Daidzic is a professor of aviation, adjunct professor of mechanical engineering, and graduate research faculty at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
