Looking for a book on aeronautical Engineering

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on finding a suitable book for Aeronautical Engineering, particularly for first-year students struggling with course material. A participant recommends "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications (3rd Edition)" by David Vallado as a detailed resource. The original poster seeks a book that provides step-by-step explanations and includes key terms for better understanding. There is a mention of a potentially useful book from the 1980s, although its title is currently unknown.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Aeronautical Engineering concepts
  • Familiarity with astrodynamics principles
  • Ability to navigate academic resources and libraries
  • Interest in aerospace literature and engineering history
NEXT STEPS
  • Research "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications (3rd Edition)" by David Vallado
  • Explore other contemporary Aeronautical Engineering textbooks
  • Investigate online resources and forums for additional book recommendations
  • Look for library archives or second-hand bookstores for out-of-print titles
USEFUL FOR

First-year Aeronautical Engineering students, educators seeking teaching materials, and anyone interested in foundational aerospace literature.

hi,

Please i need help to find a really good book for Aeronautical Engineering. i want an easy, step by step in detail full explanation with key words in back of the book or something like that. i am in first year now and i looked at the engineering section in university but there are only few books on that subject. i find it really hard to follow the lecture. so, teacher told me to look in the library but i couldn't find the book that i was looking for. Please let me know as soon as possible.

Please! Please! Please! Please!

I actually have the type of book your looking for. It's a very detailed step by step guide on aeronautics. It starts with general concepts and builds up on them. Only two problems:

1) It's not with me at the moment so I won't be able to tell you the title until I go home.

2) It might be out of print, it was given to me when I was a kid. I had a growing interest in airplanes and a family member of mine was an engineer so he let me have the book to fuel my interest, ironically it was way over my head at the time so I couldn't understand any of it until today. The book was from the 80's. It's a really good book though so I think they might still publish it today.

Either way I'll find out what it is and get back to you on it in about a week and a half or so.
 
I'd recommend "Fundamentals of Astrodynamics and Applications (3rd Edition)" by David Vallado.
