Summary

Covering aircraft flight performance, this book focuses on commercial aircraft, with some examples of military aircraft. A multidisciplinary engineering analysis is supported by flight simulation, with software validation at several levels. Environmental performance is discussed at four levels: aircraft noise, contrail effects, landing and take-off emissions and carbon dioxide emissions.

Advanced Aircraft Flight Performance Summary

Advanced Aircraft Flight Performance by Antonio Filippone (University of Manchester)

This book discusses aircraft flight performance, focusing on commercial aircraft but also considering examples of high-performance military aircraft. The framework is a multidisciplinary engineering analysis, fully supported by flight simulation, with software validation at several levels. The book covers topics such as geometrical configurations, configuration aerodynamics and determination of aerodynamic derivatives, weight engineering, propulsion systems (gas turbine engines and propellers), aircraft trim, flight envelopes, mission analysis, trajectory optimisation, aircraft noise, noise trajectories and analysis of environmental performance. A unique feature of this book is the discussion and analysis of the environmental performance of the aircraft, focusing on topics such as aircraft noise and carbon dioxide emissions.

'The book represents a useful reference for practising performance engineers and it would be a good starting point for anyone tasked with carrying out a performance analysis of an aircraft ' The Aeronautical Journal

About Antonio Filippone (University of Manchester)

Dr Antonio Filippone's expertise is in the fields of computational and experimental aerodynamics, flight mechanics, energy conversion systems, propulsion systems, rotating machines (helicopter rotors, propellers, wind turbines), systems engineering, and design and optimisation. He has published more than eighty technical papers, ten book chapters and two books, including Flight Performance of Fixed and Rotary Wing Aircraft (2006). Dr Filippone has been at the University of Manchester since 2000. Prior to this appointment, he was a research scientist at the Technical University of Denmark where he also received his PhD degree in 1996 for his research on rotor blade aerodynamics. He started his career at Ris National Laboratories, in Denmark, working on the aerodynamics of wind turbines.
