AI Thread Summary
To start learning aeronautics as a hobby, "Introduction to Flight" by Anderson is highly recommended for beginners, though it may be expensive. For those interested in a deeper understanding of aerodynamics, "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics" by Anderson is also suggested. Several participants emphasize the importance of obtaining used copies to save costs. The discussion highlights a clear path for newcomers, focusing on foundational texts. Engaging with these resources can provide a solid grounding in aeronautics.

Hello,
I'm very interested in aeronautics and I want to learn it as a hobby (maybe I'll even make RC planes) but I really don't know where to start from
So if anyone could guide me and tell me where to start from that would be much appreciated
Thanks in advance
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Anyone?
 
If you want just a general overview to get you started then Introduction to Flight by Anderson would be a good place. It isn't cheap though, unfortunately. Maybe try and procure a used copy somewhere?

Thanks I'll look for it then
 
I'll second (albeit a bit tardily) the recommendation for Anderson's Introduction to Flight. It's a good book.

If you want something more on aerodynamics, Anderson's Fundamentals of Aerodynamics is a good book.

I'll look into it when I'm done with the introduction to aeronautics first
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
