This book describes the principles and equations required for evaluating the performance of an aircraft. After introductory chapters on the atmosphere, basic flight theory, and drag, the book goes on to consider in detail the estimation of climbing performance, the relevant characteristics of power plants, takeoff and landing performance, range, and turning performance.
