Re: Review of Flight

Post by Urvashi Tripathi »

Honestly, many of the time physics goes above my head. But your review conveyed me to read this book and I hope I would be able to understand author's explanations. As I always dream to have wings and experience flying in the blue sky, this book will give explanation how all lovely birds do that. Thank you for the amazing review.

I would be wondering if the book has a lot technical details as I am not a tech savvy person. Great review, though!

Often, the math part is the most difficult to understand, so a book that contains very few formulae might be less difficult to understand. You have really great dreams! Thank you for your appreciation!

The details are mostly in the scientific parts, concerning the physics connected to flight. There are some technical details connected to aircraft but only in a few parts of the book and the illustrations help. Thank you for your appreciation!

Since I love birds and science so much, I believe I would enjoy this book. I like that the author tried to keep the explanations as simple as possible to describe the mechanics involved in flight.

Thank you for another excellent review, NetMassimo.

Yes, this book seems suitable for your taste. Keep in mind that the explanations are still rigorous even with almost no formulae. Thank you for your appreciation!

This sounds like a very detailed and informative book for those people who are interested in learning more about flying. However, I don't think it is for me. Thanks for an excellent review, though!

This book is focused on buoyancy, wing geometry, and other bits of engineering connected to flight, not piloting. Still, you might find a lot of information interesting for you. Thank you for your appreciation!

I can't say I'm all that interested in the science behind flight. However, if you are, this sounds like just the book. Thanks.

I don't know if I have enough background knowledge to be able to fully understand this book, but it sounds fascinating nonetheless. Thanks for the review!
