AI Thread Summary
To start learning aeronautics as a hobby, "Introduction to Flight" by Anderson is highly recommended for beginners, though it may be expensive. For those interested in a deeper understanding of aerodynamics, "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson is also suggested. Several participants emphasize the importance of obtaining used copies to save costs. The discussion highlights a clear path for newcomers, focusing on foundational texts. Engaging with these resources can provide a solid grounding in aeronautics.

Hello,
I'm very interested in aeronautics and I want to learn it as a hobby (maybe I'll even make RC planes) but I really don't know where to start from
So if anyone could guide me and tell me where to start from that would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Anyone?
 
If you want just a general overview to get you started then Introduction to Flight by Anderson would be a good place. It isn't cheap though, unfortunately. Maybe try and procure a used copy somewhere?

Thanks I'll look for it then
 
I'll second (albeit a bit tardily) the recommendation for Anderson's Introduction to Flight. It's a good book.

If you want something more on aerodynamics, Anderson's Fundamentals of Aerodynamics is a good book.

I'll look into it when I'm done with the introduction to aeronautics first
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'
We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
