The Essential Airplane

The Essential Airplane  is intended for students,  pilots,  non-pilots interested in airplanes, and, of course,  flight instructors.

It  is a set of 57 exquisite color drawings and 14 commentaries illustrating the principles of flight.  The collection is divided into six parts.  Each drawing stands alone to illustrate an idea or flight principle, but fits with the other drawings in a given part.  The first five parts, drawings, cover basic aerodynamics, instrumentation, airspace, weather, and complex airplanes.  The sixth part, commentaries, connects the illustrated concepts with historical developments, poetic observation and contemporary experience.  The commentaries are related to specific drawings.

The Essential Airplane is available in book form or on CD.  The book is spiral bound, landscape format, page size, printed on one side only.  The book opens flat for easy reference and the blank sides can be used for notations by students or instructors.
