The availability of digital data from on-board computers, data transmission to ground stations, internet streaming of flight data, and various web applications have created a wealth of performance data that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. This revised and updated second edition features significant updates throughout.
In recent years there has been a renaissance in the field of aircraft flight performance with a number of developments centering mostly on environmental performance, sustainability, digitization, large data sets, integration with flight monitoring systems, and novel power plants - just to name a few. The aviation industry is now acutely aware of the climate emergency, and aircraft performance is now intrinsically linked to emissions.
The availability of increasingly large amounts of digital data from on-board computers (flight data recorder, FADEC), data transmission to ground stations, internet streaming of flight data, and various web applications have created a wealth of performance data that would have been inconceivable just a few years ago. With advances in these two directions, as well as new engine technology (high by-pass turbofan engines, counter-rotating open rotors), this revised and updated second edition of Advanced Aircraft Flight Performance features significant updates throughout, along with three new chapters. About one-third of the material now deals with environmental performance.

About the Author: Professor Antonio Filippone teaches aerospace engineering at the University of Manchester. His research background is on aerodynamic systems for both ground and airborne vehicles. Specifically, he is interested in the development of new high-fidelity methods for the analysis, optimization, and design of aerospace systems and their application to real-life cases. His current interests are in four general areas: 1. aero-acoustics (with emphasis on aircraft noise and noise propagation); 2. aero-mechanics of fixed- and rotary-wing vehicles (commercial airplanes and rotorcraft systems), 3. environmental analysis (exhaust emissions, acoustic emissions, high-altitude effects of flight); 4. multi-disciplinary applications in simulation engineering. His strategic interests are aligned with the themes of transport, energy, and environment. Past experience includes research in industrial flows, wind energy generation, power systems, multi-phase flows, wind tunnel research (mostly aerodynamics/acoustics) and other laboratory measurements, stochastic optimization, and more. Professor Filippone is the author of textbooks on aircraft and rotorcraft flight performance. He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, a Fellow of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, and a Chartered Engineer.

Additional Delivery Information (and some really important bits):
UK Delivery
Orders for delivery in the UK are normally despatched by Royal Mail, using the RM 48 Tracked Service with most orders delivered to you within a few days of placing your order with us. For larger parcels, Courier and Signed For delivery services may be used. Signed Books are shipped in our specially made book mailing cartons, with the books themselves wrapped in paper to protect them. Sometimes we may ship your order in several parts, particularly if you have 'Pre-Order' titles in your order or titles which are held in stock with our publishing partners.
The Really Important Bit: Because we use tracked, courier and signed for delivery services, please use an address at which your parcel can be received during the normal working day, for example, you may want to have your order delivered to your work address if you're not at home during the day.
First Item @ £3.75 (sometimes a shipping supplement may be added for particularly heavy books or specific postcodes*)
2 Items & over @ £5.00 in total
Another Really Important Bit: There are a number of Postcodes in the UK for which we will need to charge a shipping supplement, this will be calculated once we know the size and weight of the shipment. For these orders we will contact customers to agree a suitable and economic method of shipping. There may also be additional time required for delivery to some areas of the United Kingdom. Where possible, we will ship book orders (under 2kg) by Royal Mail to all UK postcodes. Large multiple book orders and books over 2kg are often shipped via APC Overnight or similar, regardless of Postcode.
Overseas Delivery
Shipments to EU countries:
First Item @ £15.00 (sometimes a shipping supplement will be added for particularly heavy books)
2 Items & over @ £30.00 in total
A really, really important Brexit bit: From 1st January 2021 shipments to EU addresses may incur additional costs which could be requested by Fed Ex at the time of delivery. These costs may vary from country to country and are not within our control and will be in addition to the costs paid to us for your delivery.
