Aerodynamics Principles for Air Transport Pilots (2nd Edition)

Describing the differences of airflow around subsonic, transonic, and supersonic aircraft, the book gives readers a better understanding of aircraft behavior across different speed ranges. This book begins with the fundamental physics principles of aerodynamics, then introduces the continuity equation, energy equations, and Bernoulli’s equation. The second edition features new content on aircraft performance as a part of the applications of analysis of aerodynamic forces, new sections on features of aerofoil on aerodynamic forces, and force feedback on control of personal-computer-based aviation training device (PCATD).
