The book begins with an introduction to equations of motion, aerodynamic forces, and propulsion systems and then goes on to apply what has been learned to performance during descent and glide, cruising, climb, turning and take-off and landing. A final chapter discusses the performance of hypervelocity re-entry vehicles. Challenging exercises are included at the ends of chapters. These are designed to give readers a deeper understanding of the material covered in the text. This text will serve as an introductory text for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students. It will also be of value to researchers in universities and industry. The author is an internationally recognised teacher and researcher in this subject and has received the Excellence in Teaching and Excellence in Research Awards from the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e Equations of motion\u003cbr\u003e Aerodynamic forces\u003cbr\u003e Propulsion systems\u003cbr\u003e  Descent and glide performance\u003cbr\u003e Cruise performance\u003cbr\u003e Climb performance\u003cbr\u003e Turning performance\u003cbr\u003e Turning flight of jet aircraft\u003cbr\u003e Take-off and landing performance\u003cbr\u003e Performance of hypervelocity re-entry vehicles\u003cbr\u003e Appendices\u003cbr\u003e Selected bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Aerospace \u0026amp; aviation technology [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Aerospace \u0026amp; aviation technology\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Aerospace%20\u0026amp;%20aviation%20technology%20%5BTRP%5D%22\"\u003eTRP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004437025048,"sku":"9780521478526","price":68.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521478526_169f2522-50ac-42ab-b915-29a39d6bb1ad.gif?v=1691382880","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/flight-mechanics-of-high-performance-aircraft-paperback-9780521478526","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
