Description

(NAVWEPS 00-80T-80) This textbook presents the elements of applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering which relate directly to the problems of flying operations. All Naval Aviators possess a natural interest in the basic aerodynamic factors which affect the performance of all aircraft. Due to the increasing complexity of modern aircraft; this natural interest must be applied to develop a sound understanding of basic engineering principles and an appreciation of some of the more advanced problems of aerodynamics and engineering. The safety and effectiveness of flying operations will depend greatly on the understanding and appreciation of how and why an airplane flies. The principles of aerodynamics will provide the foundations for developing exacting and precise flying techniques and operational procedures. The content of this textbook has been arranged to provide as complete as possible a reference for all phases of flying in Naval Aviation. Hence; the text material is applicable to the problems of flight training; transition training; and general flying operations. The manner of presentation throughout the text has been designed to provide the elements of both theory and application and will allow either directed or unassisted study. As a result; the text material’ will be applicable to supplement formal class Iectures and briefings and provide reading material as a background for training and flying operations. Much of the specialized mathematical detail of aerodynamics has been omitted wherever it was considered unnecessary in the field of flying operations. Also; many of the basic assumptions and limitations of certain parts of aerodynamic theory have been omitted for the sake of simplicity and clarity of presentation. In order to contend with these specific shortcomings; the Naval Aviator should rely on the assistance of certain specially qualified individuals within Naval Aviation. For example; graduate aeronautical engineers; graduates of the Test Pilot Training School at the Naval Air Test Center; graduates of the Naval Aviation Safety Officers Course; and technical representatives of the manufacturers are qualified to assist in interpreting and applying the more difficult parts of aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering. To be sure; the specialized qualifications of these individuals should be utilized wherever possible. The majority of aircraft accidents are due to some type of error of the pilot. This fact has been true in the past and; unfortunately; most probably will be true in the future. Each Naval Aviator should strive to arm himself with knowledge; training; and exacting; professional attitudes and techniques. The fundamentals of aerodynamics as presented in this text will provide the knowledge and background for safe and effective flying operations. The flight handbooks for the aircraft will provide the particular techniques; procedures; and operating data which are necessary for each aircraft. Diligent study and continuous training are necessary to develop the professional skills and techniques for successful flying operations.

FloresThis is a short booklet (not a book) that is somewhat informative but leaves off much history for the sake of brevity. The cover is very attractive. It includes some nice maps but the maps were obviously shrunk to fit the pages and the city names are so small that most cannot be read. Finally there are no page numbers; which I found irritating. All in all; I would not recommend this book. It needs to be expanded and it needs to include legible maps.15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Short and sweetBy Modupe HendricksI found that I learned more about the differences in belief between Sunni and Shia Muslims from this short synopsis than anything else I’ve read. The book provides extensive footnotes so that one can determine the source of the various statements in this book. The bibliography list is long and provides one with multiple sources to learn about Shia and/or Sunni Muslims.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The current political Islamic situationBy Bassem MorcosThis book is a clear and interesting guidance to any reader who is not Muslim to understand the current geopolitical situation in the middle east and also its relation to the global waves of terrorism which are affecting many countries in the Western world today.The author was smart enough to capture mere facts with clear sequence since the emergence of Islam to lead us to understand the conflict running among the Arab countries in general. He also approached the point of conflict among the different Islamic sects from one aspect and also their hatred to other religions from another aspect.I see it of real value to any reader who is looking for a concise reference any sharp; chronological history and present thread of the Islamic middle eastern wars and differences.
