Aerodynamics for Pilots

Summary

This book is the outgrowth of notes created while teaching a class of professional flight students some aerodynamics not normally found in their standard flight mechanics texts. It is not meant to compete or replace these texts but rather to fill part of the information void between pilot oriented advanced flight mechanics books and the highly technical aeronautical engineering books. The gap exists because flight mechanics texts tend to skim over material that appears to be getting too involved with theory and advanced mathematics. 

This book thus provides an overview of aerodynamics not generally covered in flight mechanics books and done efficiently as possible.

About the Author:

The late Professor Ken Woodard took his first flying lesson before entering World War II. He held a B.S. in Aeronautical Engineering, Tri-State College and M.S. in Aerospace Engineering, Boston University. Professor Woodard was employed as a design/structures engineer, stress analyst and aerodynamicist for multiple major aerspace companies before becoming an Associate Professor of Engineering and Director of Aviation Technology at Northeastern University.  He was a rated airplane and glider pilot with an FAA advanced instrument ground instructor rating.

Professor Woodard was also a U.S. Army veteran serving in the Pacific during World War II. In honor of his service and resulting Purple Heart Award, all proceeds from this book go to the Wounded War Veterans.
