Abstract

In the preface the author opens his remarks with ‘This book is intended for students, for newcomers to the aircraft industry, for practising designers and for research workers in the field of stability and control’. This is a most ambitious proposal and it should be stated, right at the beginning, that, taking the book as a whole, the author has succeeded in his objectives. The book is subdivided into three parts, Part I is devoted to longitudinal motion, Part II is concerned with lateral motion while Part III is entitled ‘Stability and Design’. Before proceeding to the text however there is a most comprehensive list of notation which is commendable and it gives an indication of the thoroughness and care of presentation which is reflected throughout the rest of the book.
