Editorial Review:
Product Description:
Recently updated, this comprehensive handbook explains the aerodynamics of helicopter flight, as well as how to perform typical helicopter maneuvers, unlike many aviation training manuals which are strictly how-to guides. Beginning with the basics of aerodynamics, each step of the process is fully illustrated and thoroughly explained—from the physics of helicopter flying and advanced operations to helicopter design and performance—providing helicopter pilots with a sound technical foundation on which to base their in-flight decisions. Containing discussions on the NOTAR (no tail rotor) system, strakes, and frequently misunderstood principles of airspeed and high-altitude operations, this revised edition also includes the latest procedures and regulations from the Federal Aviation Administration.

- Worse than nothingAs a physicist and mathematician, I can say this is the most poorly written, confusing, self-contradictor, error filled piece of junk I have ever had the misfortune to encounter. My wife (a PhD in Chemistry) and I tried to use it as a learning tool for our ppl and felt that we were worse off than with nothing.
Rating:
- Great Reference BookI purchased this book because I needed another study guide for the AFAST exam. The explanations, diagrams and glossary words were key for me. Anyone with moderate knowledge of physics shouldn't have any issue with this book. After talking to several helicopter pilots I do feel that some things were left out of the book, but overall this book is excellent for getting familarized with basic helicopter principles.

- Brand newI ordered new books og that's what I've got. My books are in mint condition.

- Principles of Helicopter FlightI purchased this book as an optional book for a helicopter theory class, knowing nothing about helicopters going into the class. Since, I have found this book an essential read to supplement the FAA's rotorcraft flying handbook. Principles of Helicopter Flight delves deep into the theory of helicopter operation more than the FAA version, with chapters broken up well for each subject. It also follows a very logical, simple format so that people not familiar with basic physics concepts can pick ... Read More
Rating:
- Helicopter Flight Backgrounds for the laymanThe book tries to explain the physics of helicopter flight to people without any background in mathematics or physics. A lot of the ideas that could be written down in a simple formula are explained over and over again in prose. So if you have some physics or math background you will find the text quite annoying.
If you are looking for a more in depth treatment of the topic take a look at Helicopter Theory by Wayne Johnson, or Principles of Helicopter Aerodynamics by J. Gordon Leishman.
