"""Each major airplane performance topic is treated in depth with separate coverage of propeller and jet-propelled aircraft, as well as gliders, where applicable. The starting chapter is a comprehensive treatment of the structure and properties of the atmosphere and is very helpful for analyzing aircraft performance at all altitudes. Example problems are interspersed with the theoretical development and are solved in detail to illustrate how the theory is to be applied."" - Peter Rosner, Southern New Hampshire University"
