Introduction to flight testing and applied aerodynamics
by McCormick, Barnes W.,, Jr., (Barnes Warnock)
"This textbook presents a basic and concise analysis of airplane performance, stability, and control. Basic algebra, trigonometry, and some calculus are used. Topics discussed include engine and propeller performance, estimation of drag, airplane dynamics, wing spanwise lift distributions, flight experimentation, airspeed calibration, takeoff performance, climb performance, and dynamic and static stability. Special features examples containing student-obtained data about specific airplanes and …

Summary
"This textbook presents a basic and concise analysis of airplane performance, stability, and control. Basic algebra, trigonometry, and some calculus are used. Topics discussed include engine and propeller performance, estimation of drag, airplane dynamics, wing spanwise lift distributions, flight experimentation, airspeed calibration, takeoff performance, climb performance, and dynamic and static stability. Special features examples containing student-obtained data about specific airplanes and engines; simple experiments that determine an airplane's performance and handling qualities;and end-of-chapter problems (with answers supplied in an appendix)."--Publisher description.
