The main aim of the book is to present the concepts of physics, and in particular mechanics, within the context of mechanized and animal flight. The novel aspect of the book is the use of a single story line in the presentation and discussions of the physics concepts and ideas which are usually taught in freshman physics courses. The use of a story line emphasizes coherence of the presentation and puts at a pemium the repeated and integrated uses of the material learned in all chapters. The text emphasizes the physics of flight rather than the aerodynamics. The book is addressed to students in technology programmes, in particular aviation science. The text is also an excellent reference for students and professionals in mechanical and aerospace engineering, as well as in biomechanics.
