Introduction to Theory of Flight equips students with critical and foundational knowledge in fundamental science principles that make flight possible.

The book is organized into three main parts: fundamental science, advanced science, and expert knowledge covering specific flight physics areas. Dedicated chapters and appendices cover atmospheric and space flight, various categories and classes of aircraft, terrestrial atmosphere, and many special topics. Readers learn about air properties and measurements; the basic laws of classical mechanics, including rigid-body and fluid dynamics; and geometric and aerodynamic characteristics of lifting surfaces. The book addresses gravitational, aerostatic, and aerodynamic forces, aerospace propulsion, aircraft performance, and flight dynamics, including stability, control, manoeuvrability, and flying qualities. Additional material covers high-speed flight and special topics in fixed-wing, rotary-wing, powered-lift, and lighter-than-air aircraft. The closing chapter covers select aspects of space flight, including rocket propulsion theory, launch vehicles, and the fundamental orbital mechanics.

Designed to provide undergraduate students with an essential overview of important concepts, Introduction to Theory of Flight is an exemplary resource for courses and programs in aeronautics, aviation, aerospace and mechanical engineering and technology.
