Paperback. Aerospace engineering asks one unforgiving question of every vehicle: will the forces balance? A wing must lift the weight it carries, an engine must produce more thrust than the airframe creates in drag, and a structure must survive every load without exceeding what the material can bear - all at minimum weight. Most students meet this discipline through a stack of separate courses and textbooks - one for aerodynamics, another for propulsion, another for structures, another for orbital mechanics - each with its own notation and its own starting assumptions. The result is often a fragmented understanding, where a formula gets applied outside the regime it was derived for, or a result from one chapter never connects to the vehicle-level trade-offs it was meant to inform.This engineering guide treats aerospace engineering as one connected argument, built in a single direction from the atmosphere upward to orbit. Every major equation is derived from stated assumptions before it is applied, and every result is labeled with the flight regime in which it holds. What you will learnHow the standard atmosphere, fluid conservation laws, and dimensional analysis form the working environment every later calculation depends on.How lift, drag, and moment arise from first principles, from airfoil and thin-wing theory through finite-wing effects and compressible, high-speed flow.How to work through aircraft performance - climb, ceiling, range, endurance, take-off and landing, and turning flight - using one consistent set of equations of motion.Stability and control, aerospace structures and materials, and both air-breathing and rocket propulsion, each with fully worked, checked examples.Orbital mechanics and spacecraft systems design, from the two-body problem through practical mission budgets for power, thermal control, and propellant.A complete flight-vehicle design synthesis that carries a single mission requirement through conceptual design for an aircraft, a launch vehicle, and a spacecraft mission.Practice problems and a full, boxed answer key at the end of every chapter, for immediate self-checking.Key topics coveredThe standard atmosphere and aerostatics; fundamentals of fluid flow; airfoils, wings, and the generation of lift; drag and the boundary layer; compressible and high-speed aerodynamics; aircraft performance; stability and control; aerospace structures and materials; air-breathing propulsion; rocket propulsion; orbital mechanics and astrodynamics; spacecraft systems and design; and flight vehicle design synthesis. Who this book is forWritten for upper-level engineering students meeting aerospace subjects for the first time, and for practicing engineers who want to consolidate the fundamentals in a single, rigorously derived reference. Readers should be comfortable with calculus, university-level physics, and an introductory course in engineering mechanics. Begin building a clearer understanding of the subject with a guide designed around the challenges that matter most - from the first equation of motion to a complete vehicle design.

Most students meet this discipline through a stack of separate courses and textbooks — one for aerodynamics, another for propulsion, another for structures, another for orbital mechanics — each with its own notation and its own starting assumptions. The result is often a fragmented understanding, where a formula gets applied outside the regime it was derived for, or a result from one chapter never connects to the vehicle-level trade-offs it was meant to inform.
This engineering guide treats aerospace engineering as one connected argument, built in a single direction from the atmosphere upward to orbit. Every major equation is derived from stated assumptions before it is applied, and every result is labeled with the flight regime in which it holds.
What you will learn
- How the standard atmosphere, fluid conservation laws, and dimensional analysis form the working environment every later calculation depends on.
- How lift, drag, and moment arise from first principles, from airfoil and thin-wing theory through finite-wing effects and compressible, high-speed flow.
- How to work through aircraft performance — climb, ceiling, range, endurance, take-off and landing, and turning flight — using one consistent set of equations of motion.
- Stability and control, aerospace structures and materials, and both air-breathing and rocket propulsion, each with fully worked, checked examples.
- Orbital mechanics and spacecraft systems design, from the two-body problem through practical mission budgets for power, thermal control, and propellant.
- A complete flight-vehicle design synthesis that carries a single mission requirement through conceptual design for an aircraft, a launch vehicle, and a spacecraft mission.
- Practice problems and a full, boxed answer key at the end of every chapter, for immediate self-checking.
The standard atmosphere and aerostatics; fundamentals of fluid flow; airfoils, wings, and the generation of lift; drag and the boundary layer; compressible and high-speed aerodynamics; aircraft performance; stability and control; aerospace structures and materials; air-breathing propulsion; rocket propulsion; orbital mechanics and astrodynamics; spacecraft systems and design; and flight vehicle design synthesis.
Who this book is for
Written for upper-level engineering students meeting aerospace subjects for the first time, and for practicing engineers who want to consolidate the fundamentals in a single, rigorously derived reference.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
