AI Thread Summary
Recommended introductory books for aspiring aerospace engineers include "Introduction to Flight" by John D. Anderson, which covers fundamental aeronautics concepts, and "Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach" by Daniel P. Raymer, focusing on design principles. For propulsion, "Fundamentals of Gas Turbines" by William C. Dickey is suggested for its comprehensive coverage. Additionally, "Aircraft Performance and Design" by John D. Anderson provides insights into performance analysis. These resources will establish a solid foundation in aeronautics and design for those transitioning from physics to aerospace engineering.

hey guys,

what are some good intro books to give me a base in just general aeronautics. I am a physics major who is looking to learn more about aerospace engineering before i enter grad school and need some advice on the best place to start. My interests are propulsion and aircraft/flight design. Thanks!

Bump this up.

I'd like to get some design books as well.

Anybody?
 

Thread 'Space Stuff and Launch Info'

Due to the constant never ending supply of "cool stuff" happening in Aerospace these days I'm creating this thread to consolidate posts every time something new comes along. Please feel free to add random information if its relevant. So to start things off here is the SpaceX Dragon launch coming up shortly, I'll be following up afterwards to see how it all goes. :smile: https://blogs.nasa.gov/spacex/
