Title: Good value for a small book
Product review: This small book purpose is to cover the most important aspects of flight mechanics for advanced undergraduate students. To keep pace with this goal, the mathematical level is pretty accessible and never demanding ( just basic derivatives and almost no integral, the few ones have solutions described in the text ). The good facet is the analysis of supersonic cruise of airplanes and the perfomance of hypervelocity reentry vehicles. Since other textbooks are scanty on the matter, albeit more advanced in mathematical presentation, this volume is a good complement to a course textbook in those fields.If the reader is looking for a comprehensive text, this volume will provide many answers to his/her curiosity. If the student target is a particular suject, more specific treatise is needed. The reading will be of interest for professional pilots with a taste for theoretical insight of aircraft perfomance.
