Understanding Flight by David Anderson
Explaining (most of) aeronautics in simple, intuitive terms, "Understanding Flight" limits the mathematics and derives the most important relationships of aeronautics in a presentation that will draw the interest, appreciation and admiration of the aviation community. It provides keen grasp of physical flight. It explains diverse aspects such as wing design, propulsion, and high-speed flight. It tells how airplanes are constructed and perform.
A short section of this work was published in article form in Sport Aviation magazine in February 1999NASA picked up the article for their web site; it is used in several flight schools; and, has been translated into French and Spanish. Further, a New Zealand high school student won his science fair using Anderson's and Eberhardt's work. Wendell Piepgrass, Flight Training Coordinator (flight school): Not being an engineer, I appreciate very much what you...are doing here, because being able to form visually based concepts is important.... ...this presentation...effectively and clearly puts a very complex subject into terms most persons with a technical interest can understand. I wish...this chapter were a prime requirement for airman certification.
