Aerodynamics Principles for Air Transport Pilots
CRC Press (Verlag)
978-1-032-69286-9 (ISBN)
Describing the differences of airflow around subsonic, transonic, and supersonic aircraft, the book gives readers a better understanding of aircraft behavior across different speed ranges. This book begins with the fundamental physics principles of aerodynamics, then introduces the continuity equation, energy equations, and Bernoulli’s equation. The second edition features new content on aircraft performance as a part of the applications of analysis of aerodynamic forces, new sections on features of aerofoil on aerodynamic forces, and force feedback on control of personal-computer-based aviation training device (PCATD).
The book is intended for senior undergraduates studying to obtain their Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)/Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate. Aviation and air transport pilots and aircraft maintenance engineers will also benefit from the content.
Rose G. Davies works at the School of Aviation, Massey University, New Zealand. She has developed, and coordinates the current aerodynamics courses for the BAv degree in the Massey University Air Transport Program. She has teaching experience in aero-science and aircraft systems, physics and mathematics, and the foundation courses for various degrees. Rose has a Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, majoring in internal combustion engine design, a Master’s degree in engineering-thermophysics, majoring in combustion, and a PhD in applied mathematics. Before starting her university teaching career, Rose had some 20 years research experience in mathematical modelling and fluid dynamics, combustion, and remote sensing of engine emissions. She is still actively involved in the research subjects on VR flight simulation and sustainable aviation. She is a member of ASME, AIAA, ANZIAM, RAeS, and the Royal Society New Zealand, and a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Aviation/Aerospace Education and Research (JAAER).
