The fourth edition of Flight Theory and Aerodynamicswas revised to further enhance the books use as an introductory text for colleges and universities offering an aeronautical program. After surveying students enrolled in collegiate aviation programs, college professors, and aviation industry professionals, the result is this fourth edition that combines introductory concepts of aerodynamics with simple, yet important introductory practical application of math formulas.
