Airplane Stability and Control: A History of the Technologies that Made Aviation Possible (Cambridge Aerospace Series, Series Number 14) 2nd Edition

This is a book I have waited some time to purchase, how glad I am to have eventually obtained it. The knowledge inside is worth more than the purchase price. Thank you for the excellent service you provided in obtaining my new found knowledge.

Great book that traces science of S&C and it's historical development.

Excellent collection of lessons learned. Definitely a worthwhile reference to have on the shelf. Each chapter can stand alone, so read it cover to cover or just the chapters or sections that are meaningful to you.It is a little lacking in the quantitative data.

Very good undergraduate text on aircraft stability, control, and dynamic modeling. Linear algebra tools needed are developed. Easily understandable. I would recommend it.

This is simply a "must have" book for anyone interested in the dynamics of aircraft, flight control, and evolution of the modern aircraft. Airplane Stability and Control can be read as an aviation history book, as a compendium of the technical problems that arose in the development of airplanes, and as a manual for solving these problems. The book is a beacon that guides the design of new aircraft; it is technical, complex, and deep, yet it rarely refers to equations. It adds a much-needed dimension to the study of aeronautical engineering, which is increasingly focused on mathematics and numerical methods.

written in an interestingform in spite of the nature of the subject.The authors know what they are talking about
