Helicopter Theory (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering) Paperback – Illustrated, 28 Mar. 2003

- Do you want to understand, "fully understand", helicopters?- Do you have a powerful mighty background in maths, aerodynamics, mechanics, vibration, materials elasticity, control engineering ...?- Are you willing to spend hours and more hours fighting with dark untamed mysterious equations?If you have answered "yes" to all of the previous questions, Get this book! You will not be disappointed.If you have answered "no" to any of the previous questions, Forget it! (This book is only for skilled Engineers.)Taking into account the huge information and knowledge contained in this book its price is a bargain.However for such a dense book it is not as friendly as it should be.More examples, figures, graphics, tables, numbers by each expression, and so on.., would be welcome and without any doubt would transform this text into a more friendly easy to follow book.A second, updated edition, will be great!

Concise, precise but very dry in my opinion.Be ready for some heave math and physics.By no means a book anyone with standard education can read.I recommend it only if you have higher knowledge in the subject.

To comlicated for what I wanted, would be fine for some one who requires all the maths etc,which I did not

a lot of detailed and good math and phisics

..WARNING - This is a seriously high level mathmatical treatment of the aerodynamics of a helicopter in flight, solid equations from cover to cover, as the back cover states;"Wayne Johnson .....is engaged in the development of software that is used throughout the world for the analysis of rotorcraft"Absolutely, unless you have a higher-level engineering or maths degree forget it, if you are studying the subject and aim to write simulation software from first principles this is for you.I'll be applying myself in small doses when I have a 'good head' day.. ;-)
