Flight Theory and Aerodynamics: A Practical Guide for Operational Safety

The pilot’s guide to aeronautics and the complex forces of flight Flight Theory and Aerodynamics is the essential pilot’s guide to the physics of flight, designed specifically for those with limited engineering experience. From the basics of forces and vectors to craft-specific applications, this book explains the mechanics behind the pilot’s everyday operational tasks. The discussion focuses on the concepts themselves, using only enough algebra and trigonometry to illustrate key concepts without getting bogged down in complex calculations, and then delves into the specific applications for jets, propeller crafts, and helicopters. This updated third edition includes new chapters on Flight Environment, Aircraft Structures, and UAS-UAV Flight Theory, with updated craft examples, component photos, and diagrams throughout. FAA-aligned questions and regulatory references help reinforce important concepts, and additional worked problems provide clarification on complex topics. Modern flight control systems are becoming more complex and more varied between aircrafts, making it essential for pilots to understand the aerodynamics of flight before they ever step into a cockpit. This book provides clear explanations and flight-specific examples of the physics every pilot must know. Review the basic physics of flight Understand the applications to specific types of aircraft Learn why takeoff and landing entail special considerations Examine the force concepts behind stability and control As a pilot, your job is to balance the effects of design, weight, load factors, and gravity during flight maneuvers, stalls, high- or low-speed flight, takeoff and landing, and more. As aircraft grow more complex and the controls become more involved, an intuitive grasp of the physics of flight is your most valuable tool for operational safety. Flight Theory and Aerodynamics is the essential resource every pilot needs for a clear understanding of the forces they control.

About the Author

A former marine. Charles E. Dole. For twenty-eight years, I taught flight safety to officers of the U.S. Air Force, Army, and Navy, as well as at the University of Southern California.

The late. Lewis was the son of James E. Lewis. He was an associate professor of Aeronautical Science at the University of Florida and a retired Ohio National Guard military pilot.

Dr. BadiCK is a physician. I have over forty years of flight experience in single, multi-engine, land/seaplane aircraft. It has the highest rating of (A.T.P.) in commercial helicopter and gliders. The Airline Transport Pilot is a pilot. A licensed airframe and powerplant mechanic, with inspection authorization, has installed numerous aircraft aerodynamic performance (S.T.C’s) Supplemental Type Certificates, with test flight checks. He received a degree in Aeronautical Science from the Northcentral University of Arizona. He was an Aeronautical Engineer Duty Officer for 30 years and was involved in all aspects of aircraft maintenance. He is a professor of aviation at a community college.

Johnson is Brian A. Johnson. A former airline and corporate pilot with a multi-engine Airline Transport Pilot certificate holds a Commercial pilot single-engine land/sea privileges. He has an advanced ground instructor rating and is an active instrument and multi-engine Gold Seal flight instructor. He holds a Master’s degree in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and currently serves in a faculty position for a two-year Career Pilot/Aviation Management degree program.
