Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics: Performance, Static Stability, Dynamic Stability, Classical Feedback Control, and State-Space Foundations (AIAA Education) by Thomas R Yechout (PDF)

Description

Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics, Second Edition revises and expands this acclaimed, widely adopted textbook. Outstanding for use in undergraduate aeronautical engineering curricula, it is written for those first encountering the topic by clearly explaining the concepts and derivations of equations involved in aircraft flight mechanics. It begins with a review of basic aerodynamics and propulsion and continues through aircraft performance, equations of motion, static stability, linearizing equations of motion, dynamic stability, classical feedback control, stability and control augmentation, Bode, state space, and special topics. The second edition also features insights about the A-10 based upon the author s career experience with this aircraft.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This was my textbook for an upper level engineering class called Flight Mechanics. It’s a thorough book with most of what you’d expect out of a textbook, and also some fun aviation quotes at the end of each chapter. Only problem is that there were often errors in the examples that I had to point out to my professor (using wrong numbers or variables usually), in which he agreed with me and tried to contact the author.

⭐So far the book material is straightforward and clear to understand. When it arrived it was in great conditions, definitely would recommend!

⭐Great text!!Very clear, easy to read and follow.Author does seem to expect the reader to read in a continuous fashion (from beginning to end) other wise the reader can become lost. But that is expected from these kinds of engineering books.Over all; 5 stars is a fitting rating for this text.

⭐Great, easy to follow textbook. If you have an AIAA membership I recommend buying it through their website, as it will be cheaper there than anywhere else online.

⭐The book arrived on time and the book itself is one of the most complete I’ve ever bought

⭐This is an excellent book for undergraduate and postgraduate students, for researchers and engineers. The book explains both key concepts and presents the theoretical knowledge for aircraft dynamics and control.

⭐Good book. A thorough general knowledge in engineering subjects is recommended.
