Elsevier, 2006 p. ISBN:0750668172

Filippone presents an accurate, detailed, well structured book that guides the reader through nearly every aspect of aircraft performance. The performance of fixed wing, rotary wing and V/STOL aircraft is considered, with the book covering both beginner and advanced topics with comprehensive derivations throughout. Unusually for technical textbooks the book is very well written and a joy to read.
The book an ideal tool for aerospace/aeronautical undergraduates and for working engineers who need a flight performance reference. Much like Timoshenko's structures textbooks and Stroud's mathematics textbooks I see this book becoming a stalwart addition to any library.

Canada: University of Toronto, 1992. - 163 p. Three different methods of determining the profile drag/lift ratio are considered: the SBAC method, a solidity correction method, and a new semi-empirical method. Of these, the new semi-empirical method provides profile drag/lift ratios that result in substantially more accurate optimum efficiency predictions, for both aircraft and marine propellers. This method may be applied to all propellers opera...

My aim, therefore, has been to fill this gap and p...
