2.2 MB Download
This book presents flight mechanics of aircraft, spacecraft, and
rockets to technical and non-technical readers in simple terms and
based purely on physical principles. Adapting an accessible and
lucid writing style, the book retains the scientific authority and
conceptual substance of an engineering textbook without requiring a
background in physics or engineering mathematics. Professor Tewari
explains relevant physical principles of flight by straightforward
examples and meticulous diagrams and figures. Important aspects of
both atmospheric and space flight mechanics are covered, including
performance, stability and control, aeroelasticity, orbital
mechanics, and altitude control. The book describes airplanes,
gliders, rotary wing and flapping wing flight vehicles, rockets,
and spacecraft and visualizes the essential principles using
detailed illustration. It is an ideal resource for managers and
technicians in the aerospace industry without engineering degrees,
pilots, and anyone interested in the mechanics of flight.
