About this title

Synopsis

This updated second edition, written as a companion to "Flight Without Formulae", examines the mechanics and theory of flight and the various components of piston engine and turbine driven aircraft. It aims to explain simply, without mathematical jargon, how an aircraft flies. This second edition has been revised and covers new aspects of the technology in this field. It also has a new plate section which contains photographs of some engines still in the experimental stages of design. The book also contains 100 questions to aid student revision.
