What Are the Best Textbooks for Learning About Supersonic Flight Engineering?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on recommended textbooks for learning about supersonic flight engineering, particularly focusing on transitional flight from subsonic to supersonic speeds. Key topics include plane and jet design engineering challenges and the interaction of aviation sound with the environment. Participants suggest various resources that cater to individuals with a background in calculus, thermodynamics, and mechanics of subsonic flight.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of calculus
  • Knowledge of thermodynamics
  • Familiarity with mechanics of subsonic flight
  • Basic concepts of aerodynamics
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fundamentals of Supersonic Flight" by Richard T. Whitcomb
  • Explore "Aerodynamics of Supersonic Flight" by John D. Anderson
  • Investigate "Introduction to Flight" by John D. Anderson
  • Study the effects of sound on the environment in aviation contexts
USEFUL FOR

Aerospace engineering students, aviation professionals, and anyone interested in the complexities of supersonic flight and its environmental impacts.

Hi,new member here.
I'm interested in various aspects of supersonic flight,and transitional flight from subsonic to supersonic,plane and jet design engineering problems,and problems dealing with aviation sound interaction with environment.
What textbooks and readings you can recommend me?
I have background in calculus,took courses in thermodynamics and I'm familiar with mechanics of subsonic flight.

Thank you for advice.
