Description

Designed to prepare students to become aeronautical engineers who can face new and challenging situations. Retaining the same philosophy as the two preceding editions, this update emphasizes basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques along with typical stability and control realities.In keeping with current industry practice, flight equations are presented in dimensional state-vector form. The chapter on closed-loop control has been greatly expanded with details on automatic flight control systems. Uses a real jet transport (the Boeing 747) for many numerical and worked-out examples.An accompanying solutions manual can be purchased separately. Read more

This version is just like the US version if anyone has a question about it. Virtually no differences at all with a much cheaper price tag.

    • great read
If you're an engineer, you'll love it, if not you'll hate it. It was required for my class so I had no choice.

    • Flight Controls Engineer
I might have given this book a 5 star rating had this been the year 1990. Don't get me wrong, this is what I used to learn flight controls, but it does make many assumptions and takes the usual shortcuts. The first half covers all aerodynamic stability, and flight controls are relegated to the final third. It only makes use of classical design methods, which is my biggest criticism. Only a few basic autopilots are covered. This book is in serious need of an updated edition. I suppose that most of you buying it will do so only because it's assigned to your courses, but there are better options out there. Try "Aircraft Control and Simulation" instead. ... show more

    • Decent book...terrible price
This is a decent text book on the subject of flight dynamics. What is not good is the price! Ridiculous! I Purchased the second edition of this book in 1986 for an undergraduate course at University of Florida. The book still sits on my bookshelf in virtually brand new condition with the price tag still attached. $45.00!!. Times sure have changed. BTW the table of contents is almost identical to the current edition. These publishers are ripping students off! No wonder college load debt is so high. ... show more

    • Too light on concepts, heavy on formulas
The pace of the book is too fast for understanding the material. It should have at least twice as many pages so that a clearer understanding of the endless formulas within could be developed. I've seen the sub-sub-subscripts contained in this text used in others, so I can't complain too much about that. They wouldn't be terrible if a little more page real estate was used for explaining the concepts behind the equations. I think the average person would absolutely not be able to teach themself this material without additional supporting literature. If you need to use this text for a class, I hope you have a very knowledgeable instructor. ... show more

    • Look for Simplicity in Flight Dynamics in this Book
Flight Dynamics is one of the most important and complicated fields in aerospace engineering. At my university KFUPM, students taking AE 426 (Flight Dynamics) are required to do 3 projects to pass the course. For these reasons, I have purchased 4 books in flight dynamics. Dynamics of Flight is one of these books that I would love to comment on in this review. Below is a list of points that summarizes my personal opinion about this book. 1)Compared to other flight dynamics book I used, Simplicity in this book, in particular, is something worthy of remark. You would not see big fat hamburger equations. 2)The policy mentioned above is quite very good, as it has made me in further read in this field. And this why I highly recommend it to beginners. 3)By and large, it is clear and easy to understand. 4)The book has good balance between theory and application. 5)At the end of each chapter, there is quite good number of problems to solve. However, the final answers to these questions are not provided. 6)I am 80% satisfied with the number of examples provided in this book compared to the number of examples provided in (Introduction to Aircraft flight Dynamics + Flight Dynamics Principles). But, it worth to mention that I faced similar problems (Boeing 747 numerical examples) given in this book in my major exams.Also we had some problems in which we were asked to write/ define flight dynamics and its importance. I found the answer to such equations in chapter 1 of this book as it has excellent introduction to flight dynamics. 7)This book was helpful to me in writing two of my project plus in my major exams as I mentioned earlier. 8) Very good appendixes at the end of the book that will refresh your mind in some topics required in this course. 9)Objectives of each chapter are stated. 10)The authors did excellent job by listing important points. In fact, this is something wonderful and remarkable in this book. 11)The figures that the authors used in explaining the equations of motion of a rigid airplane are not so good. 12)No PC programs in this book ... show more
