Here is what people are saying about the Introduction to Flight
4 Star Rating  "Decent, not great"2009-08-27
- Reviewed By User: ABM99C75OV8OC
The book is good, but it suffers from several flaws:

1) Discussions on the same phenomena and similar concepts are sprinkled throughout the book. You move from one concept to the next, only to revisit the previous concept and then the next one again... You read about the flow over sphere in three different sections of the book, and then jump around with description of flow separation and its effects. Rather than reinforcing the material, I find this quite a confusing reading as you try to piece the information together.

2) Anderson is trying to achieve the balance between simplicity and scientific accuracy, and he does not always succeed in this. Some explanations are too confusing for an introductory text, such as Dynamic Pressure of the flow... His wordly explanations about riding along with the flow and then isentropically slowing it down to zero velocity did not do much for my comprehension... until I read in another book that Dynamic Pressure is simply the kinetic energy of the flow... duh.

3) He is missing some very important explanations. For example, he explains that the flow separation in a stall causes drop of lift and increase in drag, due to ostensibly the same phenomenon (pressure drag due to airflow separation). He just fails to explain how the same phenomenon can cause both a simultaneous increase and a decrease of aerodynamic forces of the same nature.

Regardless, the book is good. You just need to complement it with a LOT of supplemental reading to fill in the voids and answer many questions you will have. I recommend "Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators" for much better (altho simplified) explanations of many of the same phenomena... plus a lot of online research or access to live expert on the subject.
 
5 Star Rating  "Very Good Introductory Textbook"2007-03-19
- Reviewed By chingoshoe

"Introduction to Flight" is an excellent book on the fundamentals of aerodynamics, and the history of flight. The book gives a comprehensive coverage of a wide range of topics including aerodynamics, aircraft design, aircraft control, propulsion systems, supersonic and hypersonic flight as well as structures and materials.

The author did a good job of taking the otherwise complex subject of flight into a clearly explained and illustrated subject making it interesting and easy to follow by anyone with a high school level of knowledge of physics and mathematics. The book is well written with easy to follow explanations and worked examples. The reader will find the book simple to understand due to the author's generous use of diagrams and graphs.

The book is recommended reading for aeronautical engineering students, flight enthusiasts and pilots.

5 Stars.

Introduction to Flight, by John D. Anderson, is the ultimate introduction to flight mechanics and aircraft performance for engineers. Much of the content is also applicable to pilots, although some may find the math to be excessive at some points.

Anderson's writing reflects an excellent grasp of the subject matter, as well as an obvious talent for teaching complex content to those new to the field. Whether you're using this book as a primary or secondary text, for self-instruction, or as a professional reference, you'll find it up to the task.

Also recommended are Dr. Anderson's other titles, including:

- Fundamentals of Aerodynamics

- Modern Compressible Flow with a Historical Perspective

- Introduction to Computational Fluid Dynamics

all of my rocket scientist friends (literally rocket scientists!) say this is the best, bar none, intro to Aero book on the planet.
 
5 Star Rating  "An effective intro to the subject"2006-04-09
- Reviewed By tomyu1
This is a very good read, for an engineering textbook. It uses a rare combination of technical and historical explanations that holds the reader's interest enough to effectively provide him/her with the basic concepts of the subject it teaches.
 
4 Star Rating  "Deep text, but good intro book"2006-03-10
- Reviewed By patriot_cat
This book is definitely for serious aero engineering students. Very in-depth, very detailed. Don't expect light material for those who are with no background in some physics, statics and dynamics. Wish it had more examples for working on to better understand concepts, and more illustrations. Interesting book nonetheless.
