The first part is divided in two chapters in which the student must achieve to understand the basic elements of atmospheric flight (ISA and planetary references) and the technology that apply to the aerospace sector, in particular with a specific comprehension of the elements of an aircraft. The second part focuses on the aircraft and it is divided in five chapters that introduce the student to aircraft aerodynamics (fluid mechanics, airfoils, wings, high-lift devices), aircraft materials and structures, aircraft propulsion, aircraft instruments and systems, and atmospheric flight mechanics (performances and stability and control). The third part is devoted to understand the global air transport system (covering both regulatory and economical frameworks), the airports, and the global air navigation system (its history, current status, and future development). The theoretical contents are illustrated with figures and complemented with some problems/exercises. The problems deal, fundamentally, with aerodynamics and flight mechanics, and were proposed in different exams.The course is complemented by a practical approach. Students should be able to apply theoretical knowledge to solve practical cases using academic (but also industrial) software, such as MATLAB (now we are moving towards open source software such as SciLab). The course also includes a series of assignments to be completed individually or in groups. These tasks comprise an oral presentation, technical reports, scientific papers, problems, etc. The course is supplemented by scientific and industrial seminars, recommended readings, and a visit to an institution or industry related to the study and of interest to the students.

Review: This is an excellent introductory text - This is an excellent introductory text, and with the Creative Commons licensing it is very helpful for my students. The book covers all of the basic topics with clear text and solid illustrations. The prime focus of the book is actually aeronautical engineering rather than aerospace engineering but it does cover a segment of aerospace topics. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants the fundamentals of aircraft in a clear and concise text without extensive math, although this book does have mathematical examples in some applicable chapters, ranging from basic algebra to basic calculus. It covers a wide area of aeronautical topics from basic design, structure, and propulsion of aircraft through air navigation and airport and air transportation systems. It also provides a hefty dose of pure aerodynamics. The good thing is that you can preview the entire book on the author's website, found on the back cover of the book, and determine if this is the right book for you as an individual reader or as an aeronautical instructor.
