Principles of aircraft flight

The mechanics of flight is not only an examination subject.
It is first of all an exciting and indispensable subject of study for understanding flight.

This consideration inspired this book and guided the choice of its ingredients :

• a synthetic approach to phenomena
• the use of drawing as much as necessary
• the imposed figure of one page per subject
• without forgetting a bit of lightness!

May the pilot, instructor or student in aeronautics appreciate the approach and find in this book food for thought.
In this book are discussed the performance and flying qualities of aircraft equipped with GMP, in speeds where the phenomena of compressibility are not significant.
