Problems with Basic Physics Aug 19, 2009
By Charles T. Grayson
Having just received the book, I'm greatly disturbed to discover that the author considers mass to be a vector quantity. He constantly refers to lift opposing mass or something incurring kilograms of drag. He even explicity refers to the "mass vector". This sort of misconception would fail high school physics, rightly so. Mass, of course, is a scalar quantity. This tells me two things about this book:
1) The author is not an engineer, and
2) It wasn't peer reviewed.
This criticism and other lesser problems cripple, in my view, the first half of the book, which is dedicated to basic aircraft performance theory. The second half focuses more on how aircraft performance is compared against the requirements in the regulations. I gather from the author's bio that he is an expert in the latter, rather than the former, and I'll have to give him the benefit of the doubt regarding that portion of the book.
If you're looking for an introductory book about aircraft performance, there are better choices, but if you specifically are only looking for information about aircraft conformance with certification requirements, this book might be a good choice.
