Synopsis

Aircraft Performance and Sizing is a concise, practical treatise for the student or experienced professional aircraft designer.

This first volume comprises key fundamental subjects for aerodynamic performance analysis:

• The basics of flight mechanics bridging both engineering and piloting perspectives,
• Propulsion system performance attributes,
• Practical drag prediction methods,
• Aircraft “up and away” flight performance, and
• Aircraft mission performance.

This book serves as a textbook for an undergraduate aircraft performance course or as a reference for the classically trained practicing engineer.
