Customer Reviews

The comprehensive view

The "Rotorcraft Flying Handbook" does not actually teach you how to fly but the closest you can come to it. It takes every aspiring and already accomplished heli-enthusiast through the quite comprehensive world of rotating wing aeronautics. It makes it both interesting and informative, scientific and practical, easy and demanding and leaves you with a remaining strong wish to get down to business by getting into the pilot seat and fly. A great book!

Top Notch Publication

Usually governent publications are lenghty, confusing and boring BUT NOT THIS ONE! It is an outstanding training and reference manual covering all aspects of rotorcraft flying. The language is clear and concise. Graphics are in color and easily understood. Highly recommended for students and anyone interested in learning how rotorcraft fly.

Rotocraft Flying Handbook Review

Very indepth publication. Reviews all aspects of helicopter flight and structure, as well as the physics involved.

A must read for those pursuing helicopter flight

A very well written book explaining many areas of helicopter flight. I found everything to be written very well, and was benefitted by the color graphs, pictures, and layouts concerning all the intricacies of helicopter flight. If you are interested in helicoipter flight, or are wanting a more in-depth look into all the aspects of rotorcraft flight, this is the perfect book to buy, hands down. From basic flight controls, flight in general and in-depth looks into aerodynamics, this book has it all. I highly recommend this book to anyone wanting a more thorough knowledge of rotary wing flight; beginner to expert, this book will compliment anyone's knowledge and skill when it comes to helicopter flight.

Easy to read and full of usefull information.

Great book, clears lots of questions for both, new pilots and pros. Also good, because its the first book, which has a "gyroplane"section, covering lots of issues on that new aircraft type.I'd avise it to all my flying friends. ...
