Anderson's Introduction to Flight, is designed for first or
second-year engineering students and any reader looking for an
introduction to aerospace engineering. It is written in an intentionally
easy-to understand style. Readers are introduced to the basic areas of
aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and space flight
(astronautics). In this edition, space flight content covers the
expanding role of space vehicles within the field of aerospace
engineering. Continuing the tradition of the previous edition, the 9th
edition is intended not only to educate but also to motivate the reader
to pursue the subject of aerospace engineering. In addition, new
sections continue the unique tradition of including historical content
discussing the origins of the technology.
If you want to understand the engineering behind how airplanes fly, how
spacecrafts are launched into space, and how they are able to follow the
right path to their destination, this book is for you.
