Oxford Aviation books
Hi all!
I'm coming back to aviation after quiting my comercial pilot course 20 years ago. I got some books in order to revise theoretical knowledge. Among those is the Oxford Aviation "Principles of Flight", which I was really liking until reached the chapter covering longitudinal stability.
As far as I know, few airplanes had the cg behind the cp and most modern airplanes horizontal stabilizers are set in a way to contrapose a nose down tendency. Yet, in the above referred book, the stability analysis is made with the cg back of the ac, compensated by an up vector component of the horizontal tail.
I would like to know if someone here could comment on this book and the way this concept is treated by it, since I really don't know if I should go on reading or try something else. I take this opportunity to ask about a good and comprehensive book on this subject.
