Description
For students engaged in all branches of aeronautical work. By A. C. Kermode, B.A., Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, Author of "Flight without Formulae" and "The Aeroplane Structure".
This comprehensive volume covers the fundamental principles of flight mechanics including:
- The Atmosphere (density, pressure, temperature, effect of altitude, viscosity, wind gradient, air speed)
- Air Resistance (theory and experiment, wind tunnels, scale effect, streamlines)
- Aerofoils (flat plate, lift and drag, pressure distribution, angle of attack, coefficients, characteristics)
- The Flight of the Aeroplane (normal horizontal flight, the four forces, conditions of equilibrium, manoeuvres including landing, stalling, gliding, climbing, turning, aerobatics)
- Stability and Control (the three axes, longitudinal stability, lateral stability, directional stability, control)
- The Airscrew (torque and thrust, pitch angle, advance per revolution, efficiency, slip, variable pitch)
- The Test Flight
Fourth Edition. Journal of the Royal Aeronautical Society: "Can be thoroughly recommended, and every student who gives it adequate attention should be well grounded in the subjects dealt with."
