Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective, 2nd Edition
This is a great book for students just entering the world of aeronautics. It starts with the basics and gradually moves up, at a pace comfortable for almost anyone. Highly recommended.

This is a great book to understand the principles of wings, stability and structures, I recommend for the ones who does not know a lot about aeronautics and want to know a bit about it.

Dr. Brandt did really great job on this book. The way of his approach to the idea of becoming aerospace design enginners is excellent, and most of the problams and exercises he describe are also outstanding.

Quite hard to follow. The organization is pretty weird and jumps all over the place. Diagram that are being refered to and are usually on the next page, so you end up fliping back and forth. Formulars are organized pretty badly. End of chapter has a summary which give the important parts, so that’s a plus.

I would assume the only people buying this go to the air force academy or are taking classes that they really shouldn’t be at another university.
