A plain-language guide to how aircraft fly, written by Wing Commander M K Devidasan (Retd.), a former Indian Air Force technical officer with over three decades in aviation. It moves from the atmosphere and the four forces of flight through lift, drag, stability, structures, propulsion, instruments, avionics, weather and high-speed flight, without leaning on complex mathematics. The updated edition adds AI, fly-by-wire, drones, autonomous aircraft, sustainable aviation fuel, hydrogen and electric propulsion, urban air mobility, eVTOL air taxis and commercial space travel. It suits students, aspiring pilots, engineering students and general readers who want aerodynamics explained clearly rather than derived.
