Introduction to Flight, 9/e (2023 Edition)(Paperback)

Description
In continuing the tradition, Introduction to Flight seeks to not only educate, but motivate, the reader to pursue the subject of aerospace engineering. It uses an easy to understand, conversational approach to introduce first- and second-year engineering students to the basic areas of aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, and space flight.

In this edition, several new sections of historical content have been added discussing, in particular, early efforts to understand aerodynamic drag more fully, and the development of human space flight. Significant focus has also been given to providing analytical tools for preliminary space mission design. Additionally, a number of new examples have been added to Chapters 8 and 9, and end of chapter problems have been revised and updated.

《飛行導論》（Introduction to Flight）延續傳統，不僅旨在教育讀者，更激勵他們追求航空航天工程的領域。本書以易於理解、對話式的方式介紹了航空動力學、飛行動力學、推進系統和太空飛行等基礎領域，適合一、二年級的工程學生閱讀。

在這個版本中，我們新增了一些歷史內容的章節，特別是早期對空氣動力學阻力的研究以及人類太空飛行的發展。同時，我們也特別關注提供初步太空任務設計的分析工具。此外，我們在第8章和第9章新增了一些新的例子，並修訂和更新了章末的問題。
