Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of flight, exploring the fundamental principles that govern how airplanes stay aloft. The author meticulously examines the atmosphere, both at rest and in motion, laying the groundwork for understanding the forces that act upon aircraft. Bernoulli's equation, the interplay of momentum and energy, and the characteristics of perfect and viscous fluids are all carefully dissected. This exploration extends to the very heart of flight ââ â the airplane wing. The book analyzes the geometry of wings, delving into empirical data and theoretical models to explain how lift and drag are generated. The complex behavior of wings of finite span is also addressed, shedding light on the crucial role of vortex sheets and lift distribution. Propellers and engines, the powerhouses of flight, are given their due attention. The book examines propeller geometry and characteristics, providing a quantitative analysis of their performance. It also offers an insightful overview of airplane engine operation and the challenges posed by varying altitudes. Finally, the book tackles the critical aspects of airplane performance, control, and stability. It lays out the general performance problem, delving into power requirements and dimensionless analysis. Analytical methods for calculating performance are presented, along with discussions of specific challenges like gliding, landing, and seaplane operation. By illuminating the intricate tapestry of scientific principles that underpin flight, this book offers a profound appreciation for the marvels of modern aviation.
