Aerospace Engineering Books: Find the Best for You!

[Jeff Ford]

I'm looking for a good book on this field. Something that not only describes the mechanics of flight, but something that talks about what it's like to work in Aerospace Engineering. Any suggestions are appreciated.

This one from Amazon.com looks interesting, but there aren't any reviews.

Here's another that looks like it might be good, but possibly too advanced at the moment. Again, no reviews on Amazon

As a scientist in the field of aerospace engineering, I would highly recommend seeking out books that not only cover the technical aspects of flight mechanics, but also provide insight into the industry and the experience of working as an aerospace engineer. This can give you a well-rounded understanding of the field and help prepare you for a career in aerospace engineering.

One book that comes to mind is "Introduction to Aerospace Engineering with a Flight Test Perspective" by Stephen Corda. This book covers the fundamentals of aerospace engineering and also includes real-world examples and case studies from flight testing. It also discusses the roles and responsibilities of aerospace engineers in the industry.

Another suggestion would be "Aerospace Engineering: From the Ground Up" by Ben Senson. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the field, from the history of flight to modern aerospace technologies. It also includes interviews with professionals in the industry, providing valuable insights into the day-to-day work of an aerospace engineer.

In terms of the book you mentioned from Amazon, it may be worth reaching out to the publisher or author to see if they can provide any additional information or reviews. Additionally, looking for books with positive reviews or recommendations from reputable sources in the aerospace engineering community can also be helpful in finding a good book on the subject.

I hope these suggestions are helpful and wish you the best in your search for a good book on aerospace engineering. It is a fascinating and constantly evolving field, and I am sure you will find a book that sparks your interest and provides valuable insights.
