This textbook is based on a 15-year successful approach to teaching aircraft flight mechanics at the U.S. Air Force Academy. It explains all the concepts and derivations of equations for aircraft flight mechanics. It covers; aircraft performance, static stability, aircraft dynamics stability, and feedback control. The chapters present real world applications and contain problems. Each year the Academy's students are placed with industry, NASA, and Air Force labs and test organizations, and the student reviews are outstanding, illustrating the quality of the author's approach.

Excellent Flight Mechanics Book!!,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics: Performance, Static Stability, Dynamic Stability, and Classical Feedback Control (AIAA Education) (Hardcover)
This is by far one of the best written books on flight mechanics. Actually, it so good that I plan to teach a aircraft stability and control course using this book.

Amazing...,
This review is from: Introduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics: Performance, Static Stability, Dynamic Stability, and Classical Feedback Control (AIAA Education) (Hardcover)
Dr. Yechout was my professor at the US Air Force Academy and I have to say that after nearly a decade since this course, I still remember how enjoyable the course and book were. The equations are laid out in simple, easy to understand approach that would be valuable to any student.
