Hello,
Um... once in a while I am told that I can't just look at one section of the model. What I find in aviation a lot of times, is that you really have to just take it from the text and just leave it at that. One can't really ask for any prove or derivation, much like what you'd do in a physics or math class. Coming from a heavy science background, I find this process to have to place a lot of trust on the author of the book, or the person instructing. Does anyone know of a good book where they'd actually provide good math models on aviation related issues (ie how slip stream would like to circulate around the fuselage on its own, and the temperature / pressure we just talked about)?
