Product Description
Product Description
The Art and Science of Flying Helicopters covers the fundamentals of helicopter theory, performance, flying, and more advanced aspects of the helicopter itself. Turbine engines, ancillary systems such as hydraulics, and peculiarities of the helicopter are explained in detail with diagrams to aid in comprehension. This manual takes a structured approach to helicopter flying in the areas of aerodynamics, performance, flight techniques, and engine failures, and has both beginners and advanced sections in each of these areas. The division of the book into two parts, for beginners and for advanced pilots, makes it an easy-to-read reference. While performance is covered briefly in the beginners section to permit understanding of how it affects the flight of the machine, it is described in much more detail in the advanced section. Students of both civil and military helicopter flight training and maintenance will benefit from this manual. Numerous examples as well as practical tips for both instructors and students enhance this text and make it a critical addition to any flight training classroom.

The Art and Science of Flying Helicopters,
By Alan K. Radecki (Fort Worth TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Art and Science of Flying Helicopters (Paperback)
Excellent book for beginners and experts alike, but you might want to think twice before buying this one, as Coyle has just released a vastly expanded edition called "Cyclic & Collective: More Art and Science of Flying Helicopters", published by Helobooks.com
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Explanations,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art and Science of Flying Helicopters (Paperback)
I recently began reading this book, and I find it nothing less than astonishing. Its large amount of tables, figures, and charts help to really explain the text. I am a younger person, and really didnt expect to understand rotary wing flight, but this book has really made it possible for me. This book is a great bok for beginners as well as experienced flyers. Overall I think this book is an excellent buy.

Good book,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art and Science of Flying Helicopters (Paperback)
I am a test engineer who typically works on fixed wind a/c. This gave me a good heads up on the principles of rotary wing flight. Easy reading and informative.
