Aircraft Performance

Klappentext Describes the principles and equations required for evaluating the performance of an aircraft. Zusammenfassung This book describes the principles and equations required for evaluating the performance of an aircraft. The greater part of the book refers to subsonic aircraft flying at subcritical speeds! which can be dealt with using relatively simple equations! but it is shown that much of this simplicity is also valid for transonic and supersonic speeds. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Introduction; Aerodynamic foundations; Basic flight theory; Drag equations; Climbing performance; Power plants; Take-off and landing performance; Fuel consumption, range and endurance; Turning performance; Vectored thrust; Transonic and supersonic flight; Appendices.
