Comprehensive textbook which introduces the fundamentals of aerospace engineering with a flight test perspectiveIntroduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is an introductory level text in aerospace engineering with a unique flight test perspective. Flight test, where dreams of aircraft and space vehicles actually take to the sky, is the bottom line in the application of aerospace engineering theories and principles. Designing and flying the real machines are often the reasons that these theories and principles were developed. This book provides a solid foundation in many of the fundamentals of aerospace engineering, while illuminating many aspects of real-world flight. Fundamental aerospace engineering subjects that are covered include aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control.Key features: Covers aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control.Includes self-contained sections on ground and flight test techniques.Includes worked example problems and homework problems.Suitable for introductory courses on Aerospace Engineering.Excellent resource for courses on flight testing.Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace engineering, as well as practitioners in industry. It is an exciting and illuminating read for the aviation enthusiast seeking deeper understanding of flying machines and flight test.

Comprehensive textbook integrating the fundamentals of flight testing with introductory concepts in aerospace engineering Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of aerospace engineering while illuminating many aspects of real-world flight, covering topics such as aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control. End-of-chapter problems are included along with a solutions manual for instructors. The Second Edition includes two new chapters, one providing a timely introduction to hypersonics and the other introducing the fundamentals of spaceflight. Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective discusses topics including: Historical perspectives of the first flights of airplanes, rotorcraft, and spacecraftIntroductory concepts of airplanes, rotorcraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, and lighter-than-air vehiclesPlacement of the reader in the aircraft cockpit to fly and learn the basics of flight testFundamentals of subsonic, transonic, supersonic, and hypersonic flight, with explanations of the theories of lift and the generation of dragTypes of non-airbreathing rocket propulsion, including liquid propellant rocket engines and solid rocket motors, as well as air-breathing propulsion, including propeller-driven and jet enginesConcepts of aircraft performance in cruising, climbing, gliding, and turning flightLongitudinal and lateral-directional stability and controlAn introduction to hypersonic vehicles, aero-thermodynamics, and propulsionOrbital mechanics, covering Kepler’s laws, the two-body problem, types of trajectories and orbits, and atmospheric entryIntroduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is an excellent accompaniment to any introductory course in aerospace engineering taught at civilian universities, military academies, and test pilot schools. The text may also be used in more advanced courses in flight testing, aerodynamics, performance, and design.
