In gereral, aircraft have positive properties as they permit long distance, high speed travel and are often reasonably efficient. In addition to their usefulness, they have some environmental impacts. They generate some atmospheric pollution, are relatively noisly compared to other forms of travel and high altitude aircraft generate contrails, which experimental evidence suggests may alter weather patterns. Aircraft are produced in several different types optimized for various uses: military aircraft, which includes not just combat types but many types of supporting aircraft, and civil aircraft, which include all non-military types, experimental and model. The book is of tremendous significance for the people related to the field, researchers, students and teachers as well.
