Aerodynamics for Aviators is a collegiate-level aerodynamics textbook that
covers all of the necessary information relevant to pilots, from the private
license through to the commercial. Aerodynamics is a subject critical to pilots’
understanding of the safe maneuvering and operation of aircraft. This textbook
takes the student through a basic physical principles review and vector analysis
before covering the four forces in flight. Sections are dedicated to subsonic
aerodynamics as well as high-speed (transonic) aerodynamics.
Lift, weight, thrust, and drag are examined in a logical and detailed manner. In
addition, this comprehensive and detailed resource covers the atmosphere,
stability, power and performance, limitations and maneuvering flight, and stalls
and spins. Subjects are explored both conceptually as well as mathematically for
maximum understanding. Each chapter contains key terms, symbols and
abbreviations, review questions, and full-color illustrations. The appendices
provide additional useful resources, including a math and physics review,
glossary, and aerodynamic equations.
By Mark J. Dusenbury, Gary M. Ullrich, and Shelby Balogh
240 pages, hardcover
2nd Edition, July 2016
