Designed for the college senior or beginning graduate student, the text assumes a knowledge of the principles of calculus and some training in general mechanics. It is unusual in offering a well-balanced introduction, stressing equally theory and practice. It avoids the formidable mathematical structure of fluid dynamics, while conveying by often unorthodox methods a full understanding of the physical phenomena and mathematical concepts of aeronautical engineering. Theory of Flight contains perhaps the best introduction to the general theory of stability, while the introduction to dynamics of incompressible fluids and the chapters on wing theory remain particularly valuable for their clarity of exposition and originality of thought. Mises' position as one of the great pioneers in the development of the aeronautical sciences lends a flavor of authenticity not found in more conventional textbooks. Any student who has made himself familiar with his exposition of the fundamentals and applications will have acquired an excellent background for additional, more specialized fields of modern aeronautical engineering. Review: Good reference - Excellent reference material. I have used it frequently. Review: Classic Book, in depth analysis, relevant and useful - Dover books are typically designed to last and this is no exception. Much of the work behind Theory of Flight came before World War II, materials and technology substantially advanced since then. However, the detail and depth of understanding offered by this book is definitely worthy of consideration. One may read it without plunging into the calculus but to really understand it, if you aren't fresh (in a year's calculus) bring a college calc text for company. That said, the scope of this book is relevant for modern subsonic airplane engineering and design. Upcoming drone or UAV model builders can gain insight for practical application from this book but should be aware of its limitations in the lower Reynold's number or slower speed and smaller aircraft specialization. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,648,240 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #480 in Aeronautical Engineering #1,327 in Aeronautics & Astronautics (Books) #1,343 in Materials & Material Science | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 48 Reviews | ## Images ![Theory of Flight (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71WLNiVUpeL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good reference *by R***D on February 27, 2025* Excellent reference material.

The reading of this book is a real engineering enjoyment and experience which foster our modern knowhow. The chapters in propeller design is very interesting and explains how the BEM theory has been developed from the scratch.... and many others My gratitude and appreciation to all those pioneers and leaders men and women of the industry who Grant us our present careers, our pride,livelihood and technology that we are enjoying today.... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8520181-theory-of-flight-dover-books-on-aeronautical-engineering](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/8520181-theory-of-flight-dover-books-on-aeronautical-engineering) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-09-13*
