Download or read book Aerodynamics Principles for Air Transport Pilots written by Rose G Davies and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equipping readers with the ability to analyze the aerodynamic forces on an aircraft, the book provides comprehensive knowledge of the characteristics of subsonic and supersonic airflow. This book begins with the fundamental physics principles of aerodynamics, then introduces the Continuity Equation, Energy Equations, and Bernoulli’s Equation, which form the basic aerodynamic principles for subsonic airflow. It provides a thorough understanding of the forces acting on an aircraft across a range of speeds and their effects on the aircraft's performance, including a discussion on the difference in aerofoil and aircraft shapes. Aircraft stability issues are analyzed, along with the development of a boundary layer over an aerofoil, the changes of air speed and air pressure, and boundary layer separation. Readers will gain a clear understanding of the nature of airflow over aircraft during subsonic, transonic, and supersonic flight. The book emphasizes the connection between operating actions in flight and aerodynamic requirements. The content will be of interest to senior undergraduates studying to obtain their Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)/Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, general aviation and air transport pilots, and aircraft maintenance engineers.

Structural influences are given brief consideration.
Download or read book Principles of Flight for the Private Pilot written by Stephen Walmsley and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-10-08 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Principles of flight is one of the fundamental topics a pilot must master to operate an aircraft safely. Pilots have so much control over the various forces acting on the aircraft, but flying an aircraft also comes with responsibility. To avoid flying an aircraft beyond its limits, pilots must respect the principles of flight. Turning too sharply, flying too slowly, or overloading an aircraft can all have dire consequences. This book follows closely the syllabi of Principles of Flight (aerodynamics) from a range of aviation authorities around the world, allowing the reader to obtain the required knowledge in Principles of Flight. This book goes beyond these syllabi, with a particular focus on practical aviation, linking science with the real world. Each chapter contains a range of visual figures in full color and mini case studies that will allow the reader to have a deeper understanding of the wide range of components of Principles of Flight.

Download or read book Flight Theory and Aerodynamics written by Charles E. Dole and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
