By progressively building on the formulation and solution of simpler problems associated with aircraft performance, static stability, and control, the author guides readers from fundamental principles to the development of the general equations of motion and continues through dynamic stability, aircraft handling qualities, and flight simulation. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn response to feedback from students, instructors, practicing engineers, and test pilots, this \u003ci\u003eSecond Edition\u003c\/i\u003e features much new material, including new and updated coverage of: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eEffects of nonlinear aerodynamics on aircraft stability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eEffects of tail dihedral on longitudinal and lateral stability\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eLateral trim, engine failure, and minimum-control airspeed\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eDynamic stability constraints and center-of-gravity limits\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlight simulation in geographic coordinates\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThroughout the text, many new worked examples demonstrate how to apply principles of flight mechanics to solve engineering problems. Moreover, the text offers an array of modern and classical techniques for solving a broad range of problems in flight mechanics. Unique features include presentations of the numerical lifting-line method for efficient and accurate evaluation of stability derivatives and the quaternion formulation for six-degree-of-freedom flight simulation. Moreover, the author provides the detail needed to enable readers to write their own code.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eMechanics of Flight\u003c\/i\u003e is designed as a textbook for a two-semester sequence of courses for students in mechanical and aerospace engineering. In addition, the text's self-contained chapters allow instructors to select individual topics for one-semester courses. The book is also a valuable reference for engineers working in the aerospace industry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e   \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWARREN F.
