Overview

A thorough update of the gold standard for the basic principles of aircraft theory and operation

Aircraft Basic Science, Eighth Edition incorporates modern technology, such as the use of composite aircraft materials, throughout the text. In addition, the examples and figures have been revised to more accurately reflect the state of the industry. A Student Study Guide parallels the text and provides fill-in-the-blank questions that identify key terms, demonstrates applications of mathematical relationships, and validates learning progress by offering multiple-choice questions.
