JAR Ref 080: Principles of Flight

JAR Ref 080: Principles of Flight Principles of Flight is a fundamental key to many of the other theoretical subjects and of course to flight training. This volume has been written to give the student a good understanding of the principles underlying their practical flying training. Through the use of colored diagrams and mathematical explanations, it explores the theoretical and practical aspects of low and high speed (sub-sonic) flight, flying controls, lift augmentation, aeroplane stability and design, and the aerodynamic aspects of propellers. Fundamental laws and definitions are stated, explained, and then applied. The behaviour of airplanes flying at high Mach numbers is explained in detail. Where mathematical equations are introduced, worked examples are included.
