Comprehensive textbook which introduces the fundamentals of aerospace engineering with a flight test perspective Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is an introductory level text in aerospace engineering with a unique flight test perspective. Flight test, where dreams of aircraft and space vehicles actually take to the sky, is the bottom line in the application of aerospace engineering theories and principles. Designing and flying the real machines are often the reasons that these theories and principles were developed. This book provides a solid foundation in many of the fundamentals of aerospace engineering, while illuminating many aspects of real-world flight. Fundamental aerospace engineering subjects that are covered include aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control. Key features: Covers aerodynamics, propulsion, performance, and stability and control. Includes self-contained sections on ground and flight test techniques. Includes worked example problems and homework problems. Suitable for introductory courses on Aerospace Engineering. Excellent resource for courses on flight testing. Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective is essential reading for undergraduate and graduate students in aerospace engineering, as well as practitioners in industry. It is an exciting and illuminating read for the aviation enthusiast seeking deeper understanding of flying machines and flight test. Review: Five Stars - Excellent resource for pilots as well.

Corda's "Introduction to Aerospace Engineering" is a comprehensive resource for the undergraduate or graduate student of the aerospace engineering discipline. Captures a unique flight test perspective leveraging fundamental Flight Test Techniques (FTTs) as a tool for learning both theory and best practice; a innovative departure from other texts in this very narrow market... the use of FTTs underscoring a distinctive cultural domain of Aerospace Engineering... which up until now has only existed in the few isolated flight test centers. Where other texts concentrate on design and analysis, this book takes the reader to the art and science of flight test as a sub-discipline. This textbook is a must-have reference for any serious flight test professional.

Book printed in Singapore, arrived from overseas and package smelled like insectide, on the book too
Great book, recommend it for those new to aerospace or long established in the field. Excellent overview of the field. However, the copy I got was printed in Singapore (per statement on last page of text) and the package stank of sweet smelling perfume or insecticide. I had to toss the box in our recycling bin outside the house, the smell permeated the room in minutes. There is a residual odor on the book.

Great 1st book for any aerospace enthusiast
I graduated from MIT Aero/Astro 10 years ago and forgotten most of what I learned. It has been such a pleasure to read through this book and remember the fundamentals of my field. It is written in such a way that you never lose sight of the “why”, why are we learning about this? To fly airplanes and spacecraft higher, faster, farther.

Good but intense aerospace reference
The title is misleading as this is a profoundly technical book from the start. It's also a huge tome. I need specific technical aerospace information as a reference as I write a book on test pilots, but this information is far too dense to be of practical use.

Great printed words, awful bound pages
The content of the book is great. I can tell I will be using this book a lot. I hope it holds together because the spine broke the first time I opened the book.

Brilliant coverage of aerospace engineering and flight test
Fantastic book on modern aerospace engineering and flight test approaches, suitable for undergraduate level study or those with a good interest in aviation. The author chooses an F18 Hornet as a design example to cover complex engineering concepts of propulsion, supersonic flight, manoeuvrability and many more topics. It really sets the book apart from others and brings it home to the pilot and aviation geek in you. Really hard to put down once opened. The hard copy version of the book I received arrived in good quality and would recommend to all.
