A classic compendium of step-by-step calculations for solving the most frequently encountered engineering problems, cited in BCL3, Sheehy, and Powell . This revised and updated edition (2nd ed., 1985) features some 5,000 direct and related calculation procedures for 13 different disciplines. It reflects the increased emphasis on environmental factors by adding a major new section on environmental engineering and stressing environmental concerns in the other 12 engineering areas as well. The volume is also updated to show changes in various codes and technical requirements, particularly those concerning safety and legal factors. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.

Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance

Science & Math

McClamroch, N. Harris

Princeton University Press

This undergraduate textbook offers a unique introduction to steady flight and performance for fixed-wing aircraft from a twenty-first-century flight systems perspective. Emphasizing the interplay between mathematics and engineering, it fully explains the fundamentals of aircraft flight and develops the basic algebraic equations needed to obtain the conditions for gliding flight, level flight, climbing and descending flight, and turning flight. It covers every aspect of flight performance, including maximum and minimum air speed, maximum climb rate, minimum turn radius, flight ceiling, maximum range, and maximum endurance.
 Steady Aircraft Flight and Performance features in-depth case studies of an executive jet and a general aviation propeller-driven aircraft, and uses MATLAB to compute and illustrate numerous flight performance measures and flight envelopes for each. Requiring only sophomore-level calculus and physics, it also includes a section on translational flight dynamics that makes a clear connection between steady flight and flight dynamics, thereby providing a bridge to further study.
