Great non-technical book about high-speed flight Great book for anyone who wants to learn all about high-speed flight without having to learn Calculus, Thermodynamics, and other things associated with an Aerospace Egnineering degree.. Five Stars michael bradford fascinating and educational
Covering both subsonic and supersonic flight, it demystifies the world of high-speed aerodynamics, flight principles, gas turbine jets, and more. You'll learn why there are no supersonic airliners, what problems confront designers of 2,000-mph aircraft, and whether or not a hypersonic, or Mach 5, airplane is likely to be built.. This compelling book opens up the world of high-speed flight to readers who do not have extensive technical backgrounds
