Aerodynamic Principles for Professional Pilots by Les Kumpula, Professor Emeritus, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University illustrates the essential aerodynamic principles and applications relevant to flight technique issues. Applications are presented at the professional pilot level without unnecessary context, utilizing a visual format emphasizing pictorial concepts that enhance learning and retention.

Unlike aircraft performance and design, where aerodynamic equations provide numerical data, precision flying requires a thorough understanding of non-numerical aerodynamic principles. In the development of piloting skill, aerodynamic principles are applied qualitatively rather than quantitatively. The graphical methods used in this book are especially effective in showing these essential pilot techniques.

Topics Include:

  • Properties of the Atmosphere
  • Airspeed Measurement
  • Transonic Flight Characteristics
  • Aerodynamic Force Relationships
  • Turn Relationships
  • Slips and Skids
  • Adverse and Proverse Yaw
  • Subsonic Aerodynamics
  • Stability and Control
  • Yaw Factors
  • Takeoff and Landing Performance
  • Tricycle vs. Tailwheel Airplanes
  • Supersonic Aerodynamics
  • Spaceflight Principles
