This informative guide on aerodynamics offers a unique perspective for pilots and technicians looking to understand the principles of flight. Written in an easy-to-understand manner without complex calculations, Hubert "Skip" Smith explores how aerodynamic factors affect aircraft in terms of performance, stability, and control. The book also delves into the design process of modern aircraft, including the latest advancements in areas such as laminar flow airfoils and high-performance lightplanes. Perfect for classroom use, this edition also features additional sections on turning and climb performance, load and velocity-load factors, and hypersonic flight.

The main topics include:
  • What Are Aerodynamics?
  • Lift
  • Drag
  • Thrust
  • Performance
  • Stability and Control
  • High Speed Flight
  • Design
  • Aerodynamic Testing
  • Modern Design Concepts
