Flight Science covers the topic from the ground up: both the math and science as they relate to the subject of aviation to the topics that affect how an aircraft performs: meteorology, thermodynamics, combustion, drones, mechanics, dynamics, navigation, flight plans, and other general aviation-related guidance. It may be used as a reference and includes examples and case studies with step-by-step solutions. Readers new to the field who are working towards their recreational, private, or commercial licenses or one already flying a single piston or multi-engine aircraft will benefit from the content
