Hello!

I am a student of mechanical engineering, but I always loved aircrafts, and I want to get involved with aerospace engineering as soon as possible.

Could you please suggest any good books about basics of flight mechanics on university level?

I googled it a bit, but there are so many I don't know where to start...
So I am looking for a book that's good to begin with?
Maybe even books for Private Pilot License Theoretical Exam?

Thanks! =)

"Introduction to Flight" and "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics", both by Anderson.

"Flight" is a sophomore level text, and "Aerodynamics" is a Junior level text.

Hi there!

I would recommend "Introduction to Flight" by John D. Anderson Jr. This book covers the basics of flight mechanics and is often used as a textbook in university level aerospace engineering courses. It also includes information on private pilot license theoretical exams. Another good book is "Aircraft Performance and Design" by John D. Anderson Jr. and Richard E. Whitcomb, which delves deeper into the principles of aircraft design and performance. Both of these books are highly regarded in the aerospace engineering community and would be a great place to start. Hope this helps and good luck on your journey into aerospace engineering!
