Cálculos Aeronáuticos

Mathematics and aviation have gone hand in hand since the dawn of time. Since the first flight of the Wright brothers, pilots have had to perform calculations for every instance of flight. From calculating the range of the aircraft, to calculating the temperature conversion.

Thus, mathematics has become an indispensable part of the aeronautical world and in any type of aircraft, regardless of its size and performance. While, in modern aircraft, the aircraft's computerised systems usually perform all the calculations and report the result to the pilot, in less equipped aircraft, it is the pilot who must perform all the calculations to optimise resources and ensure flight safety.

One of the mathematical pillars for aeronautical calculations is the mathematical rule known as the "simple rule of three". A mathematical principle that has guaranteed success in aeronautical calculations and is still valid today.

In this book you will not learn simple mathematics, but you will learn mathematics applied to aviation. This is not a maths book, but an aeronautical book that will teach you some mathematical concepts to optimise your flight.
