<P>This volume introduces students and researchers to the fundamental concepts of aeronautics, the science involved with the creation and flying of air flight–capable machines. Written in accessible language, this volume aims to help readers develop a meaningful understanding of this exciting and evolving topic. This new resource explores the art and science of flight. Readers will gain a solid grounding in the history of flight, major events and individuals associated with flying, and the physics that makes flight possible. The book includes 155 entries arranged in A to Z order to help make finding a topic of interest easy. Entries related to basic principles and concepts include a list of the Fields of Study covered by the article; an Abstract that provides a brief, concrete summary of the topic and its significance; a list of Key Concepts with definitions, important to a proper understanding of the topic; and a detailed Essay that provides extensive background on the topic and explores its significance to the field of sports medicine and exercise science; and a list of Further Reading for those who wish to pursue the topic in more depth. Entries range from one to five pages in length. Topics include: Advanced Propulsion; Aircraft Icing; Contrails; Nutrition; Leonardo da Vinci; Amelia Earhart; Glider Planes; Hot-Air Balloons; Otto Lilienthal; Military Aircraft; NASA; Parachutes; Spacecraft Engineering; Tail Designs; Turboprops; and Wake Turbulence. This volume also includes a Glossary, Further Reading list, and Subject Index, and will give readers an overview of the major concepts and contemporary issues surrounding the study of aeronautics. It will be a helpful addition to science programs at the high school, community college, and university levels, and is a must for students with an interest in aeronautics at the high school and undergraduate levels.</P>
