Introduction to Flightby John David Anderson Hardcover: 784 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.50 x 9.50 x 7.75 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math; ; 4th edition (September 1, 1999) ISBN: 007109282X The equation derivations included in the book are essential for a complete understanding of the material. Some basic calculus skills are needed, but anyone interested in engineering should have that anyway. The Appendix and Atmospheric Tables in the back of the book are also a great reference. The book also includes a historical point of view, essential to understanding why planes look the way they do today. This book is written in a style similar to his lectures, using everyday language and vocabulary. 
A History of Aerodynamics: And Its Impact on Flying Machinesby John D. Jr Anderson (Author), Jr., John D. Anderson Paperback: 478 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.09 x 9.98 x 7.07 Publisher: Cambridge Univ Pr (Trd); ; 0 edition ISBN: 0521669553 Aerodynamic principles that make flight possible were little known or barely understood as recently as one hundred years ago. Although their roots can be found in the fluid dynamics of ancient Greek science, it was not until the scientific breakthroughs at the beginning of the twentieth century that it became possible to design successful flying machines. This book presents the history of aerodynamics, intertwined with a review of the aircraft that were developed as technology advanced. Beginning with the scientific theories and experiments of Aristotle and Archimedes, the book continues through the applied and theoretical aerodynamics in the early 1900s, and concludes with modern hypersonic and computational aerodynamics. Students, fluid dynamicists, aeronautical engineers, and historians of technology will find this book a thoroughly engrossing account of the role of aerodynamics in the development of science and technology in this century. 
Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators (reprint ed)/ 676-Tby Federal Aviation Administration Paperback: 432 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.95 x 10.86 x 8.20 Publisher: Aviation Supplies & Academics; ; Reprint edition (September 2001) ISBN: 156027140X This series of textbooks and supplements for pilots, student pilots, aviation instructors, and aviation specialists provides information on every topic needed to qualify for and excel in the field of aviation. Most FAA Knowledge Exams' questions are taken directly from the information presented in these texts. This textbook presents the elements of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering that directly relate to the flight training and general flight operations of naval aviators. 
Foundations of Aerodynamics: Bases of Aerodynamic Design, 5th Editionby Arnold M. Kuethe (Author), Chuen-Yen Chow (Author) Hardcover: 592 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.18 x 9.68 x 6.39 Publisher: John Wiley & Sons; ; 5 edition (November 19, 1997) ISBN: 0471129194 Like previous editions, this text has retained it's excellent coverage of basic concepts and broad coverage of the major aspects of aerodynamics. Numerical techniques are described for computing invicid incompressible flow about airfoils and finite wings. Plus, the design of devices and aircraft components that were constructed from theoretical considerations are shown so readers can see the realistic applications of mathematical analyses. 
Fundamentals of Aerodynamicsby John D., Jr. Anderson Hardcover: 912 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.50 x 9.49 x 7.52 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math; ; 3rd edition (January 2, 2001) ISBN: 0072373350 In keeping with the successful previous edition, Anderson carries over the second edition content into the third edition while adding selected topics and examples. New coverage on the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and new illustrations to help the students to understand the basic conepts. More than a dozen "design boxes" are included to help students focus on the practical applications 
Fundamentals of Flight (2nd Edition)by Richard S. Shevell Hardcover: 438 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 1.06 x 9.52 x 7.30 Publisher: Prentice Hall College Div; ; 2nd edition (August 1988) ISBN: 0133390608 A comprehensive introduction to aeronautics for both majors and non-majors, covering the basics of fluid mechanics (for aeronautics), the production of lift and drag, and the effects of viscosity and compressibility, among other topics. Frequently introduces applied aerodynamic methods and explains design integration in many chapters. Provides thorough coverage of the theory of circulation. For a sophomore/junior/senior course in aeronautics. (vs. Anderson) 
Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamicsby H.C. "Skip" Smith Paperback: 337 pages ; Dimensions (in inches): 0.74 x 9.28 x 7.45 Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional; ; 2nd edition (December 1, 1991) ISBN: 0830639012 Most pilots and flight students wince at the mention of the term "aerodynamics" because most courses and books dealing with the subject do so using complicated scientific theory and intricate mathematical formulas. And yet, an understanding of aerodynamics is essential to the people who operate and maintain airplanes. This unique introductory guide, which sold more than 20,000 copies in its first edition, proves that the principles of flight can be easy to understand, even fascinating, to pilots and technicians who want to know how and why an aircraft behaves as it does. Avoiding technical jargon and complex calculations, Hubert "Skip" Smith demonstrates how aerodynamic factors affect all aircraft in terms of lift, thrust, drag, in-air performance, stability, and control.
