@wumpus Thanks for the heads up. I was lucky enough to get a copy of the textbook from my library today. @Bill Phil & @K^2Thanks for feedback. Drag losses I can figure out with a path integral. I'm a bit confused on how to add lift into the equation though, since that will affect my asymptotic angle. Any ideas?

I've been wanting to tryout a aerogravity assist for a while now. So I've been scouring the internet looking for some concise explanation on gravity assist equations and their derivation. I've found this paper by Bob Johnson, and Scott Manley's video How Gravity Assist Work is somewhat useful, but I'm looking for the nitty-gritty. The 20 pages of pure uncut derivation. Can anyone direct me to some articles or recommend a good textbook? I'd much appreciate it.
