Aerodynamics for airline pilots by N P Ternvig

Tried on the web for possible sources for this book but it seems quite difficult to get.Anyone knows of how or where I can get a copy of this book?? Thanks in advance.

aircraft performance books

Hi derate...
The Aerodynamics for Airline Pilots has been sold out from the publisher (Munksgaard, Copenhagen) for some years now. There are a few thousand books in circulation, so you may be able to find a second hand one.

If unable to get a copy, I can recommend an excellent book on the same subject, namely "Getting to grips with aircraft performance" written by the flight test guys at Airbus in Toulouse. It is a little more oriented towards certification/design, but it is the most comprehensive and updated work available today :ok:.

Unfortunately, it is not for common sale - you buy 1 Airbus and may get a copy free (2 copies if you buy an A380) - BUT ......my mates say that it can be downloaded from somewhere on the net!

Best of luck
