Aerodynamics Principles for Air Transport Pilots
About this book
Aerodynamics Principles for Air Transport Pilots provides a thorough understanding of the forces acting on an aircraft across a range of speeds and their effects on the aircraft's performance, including a discussion on the differences in aerofoil and aircraft shapes.
Describing the differences of airflow around subsonic, transonic, and supersonic aircraft, the book gives readers a better understanding of aircraft behavior across different speed ranges. This book begins with the fundamental physics principles of aerodynamics, then introduces the continuity equation, energy equations, and Bernoulli's equation. The second edition features new content on aircraft performance as a part of the applications of analysis of aerodynamic forces, new sections on features of aerofoil on aerodynamic forces, and force feedback on control of personal-computer-based aviation training device (PCATD).
The book is intended for senior undergraduates studying to obtain their Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)/Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate. Aviation and air transport pilots and aircraft maintenance engineers will also benefit from the content.
