Aerodynamics, 1944, 1944

Document Type: Textbook (Technical).

Purpose: Training and Education.

Authority: Author Expertise.

Scope (from Preface): "THE SUBJECT of aerodynamics is very involved. Because exceptions prevent all-encompassing statements, simplicity with retention of factual data is difficult to obtain. This book briefly presents both elementary and advanced phases of the science of flight as encountered by the practical designer and it will serve as an introduction to aerodynamics. It is hoped that this material will be of particular help to those who, without previous aeronautical training, are engaged in the design of much needed aircraft."

Contents (from Table of Contents): I. Physical Properties of the Atomsphere II. Effects of Deflecting Airstreams III. Reynolds Number and the Bernoulli Theorem IV. Lift and Drag V. Airfoills VI. Lift-Increasing Devices VII. Performance VIII. Stability IX. Propellers X. Wind Tunnels
