Description

This book introduces certain aspects of mathematics and sciences in general, as they relate to the subject of aviation, from the wheels-up to the wheels-down, and the time in between. The topics include
meteorology, thermodynamics, combustion, drones, mechanics, dynamics,
navigation, flight plans, and general aviation-related guidance. The book also
presents the use of statistical analysis in describing the aircraft characteristics based on performance charts. The book may be used as a reference and includes examples and case studies with step-by-step solutions. Readers new to the field who are working towards their recreational, private,
or commercial licenses or one already flying a single piston or multi-engine aircraft will benefit from the content.

Features:

Includes aviation-related case
studies, where the reader can see how the conceptual material is applied to practical
scenarios.
Derives equations, displays the
relations in diagrams, and shows the applications of statistical methods to
analyses of aircraft performance charts, providing powerful tools for
aviation-related research. Mechanical
modelling of flying objects and weight-and-balance calculation methodologies
are discussed as well.
Provides pertinent historical
background to aviation-related topics such as meteorology, navigation, and
mapping, enabling the reader to put in context the current state of are in these
areas.
Presents in detail all essential
elements of a real-world flight plan, enabling the reader to use the
methodology and example when creating their own flight plans.
