Aircraft Flight: A Description of the Physical Principles of Aircraft Flight

by R.H. Barnard

This revised and updated edition provides a clear and non-mathematical description of the principles of aerodynamics and mechanics of flight. Taking a qualitative rather than quantitative approach, the text provides material for courses from technician to degree level. The text contains examples of recent innovations, and although it excludes mathematical analysis, the study does provide one or two simple formulae as a means of defining important terms, such as lift coefficient and Reynolds number, which are an essential part of vocabulary of aeronautics. Structural influences are given brief consideration.
