Flight Performance of Fixed and Rotary Wing Aircraft

Aircraft performance is a core subject for students in aerospace engineering at undergraduate level as part of flight dynamics and aircraft design courses, and at graduate level on an applied basis. It is also of utmost concern for practicing aircraft engineers, aircraft operations managers and organizations dealing with air traffic control, flight and flying regulations, standards, safety, environment, and the complex financial aspects of flying aircraft. Ideally positioned to meet both academic and professional reference needs, Filippone covers in detail each element of the performance of aircraft to ensure readers will use this book in the classroom and throughout their professional aviation career.
