Description: OLIVEBRIDGE BOOKS presents TITLE: The Art of the Helicopters by John Watkinson Elsevier Butterworth-Heinemann - 2004 CONDITION: GOOD. At first glance the book appears in near new condition. However, there is liquid damage to top corners of most pages. The damage is easier to feel than to see. The top corners appear clean but there is light rippling (See Photos). Also, there is slight water damage to some bottom corners (first pages to page 55 and 291-391), similar to top corners but smaller in size. Ordinarily I wouldn't sell a book with water damage but in this case the rippling is confined to small areas and the text is not affected. The pages are clean and bright, binding is tight, edges are sharp and covers are solid. Overall, a fine book for study/work use. DESCRIPTION: "The modern helicopter is a sophisticated device which merges a surprising number of technologies together. This wide range of disciplines is one of the fascinations of the helicopter, but it is also makes a complete understanding difficult. Those searching for an understanding of the helicopter will find The Art of the Helicopter invaluable. John Watkinson approaches every subject associated with the helicopter from first principles and builds up in a clearly explained logical sequence using plain English and clear diagrams, avoiding unnecessary mathematics. Technical terms and buzzwords are defined and acronyms are spelled out. Misnomers, myths and old wives tales (for there are plenty surrounding helicopters) are disposed of. Whilst the contents of the book are expressed in straightforward language there is no oversimplification and the content is based on established physics and accepted theory. The student of helicopter technology or aerodynamics will find here a concise introduction leading naturally to more advanced textbooks on the subject." SHIPPING: Ships within 24 hours.
