Aerodynamics

Scope and Contents Document Type: Textbook (Technical).Purpose: Training and Education.Authority: Author Expertise.Scope (from Preface): "In this book, an effort has been made to cover the more practical phases of both theory and experiment. Unusual emphasis has been placed on the physical aspect of the theory in order to cultivate the interest of the student and to provide a general background suitable for later more intensive mathematical work in the...

Since it is a first survey, it cannot be expected to be exhaustive, and it necessarily reflects the authors' prefer-ences. But it...

Scope and Contents Document Type: Textbook (Technical).Purpose: Training and Education.Authority: Author Expertise.Scope (from Preface): "Books in the field of wing and airfoil theory have been written either at a very elementary level for the college junior or at a high level for the advanced student. Few, if any, papers have been presented at a level directly suitable for the college senior or first-year graduate stu-dent. Noting this situation in 1941,...

Scope and Contents Document Type: Textbook (Technical).Purpose: Training and Education.Authority: Author Expertise.Scope (from Preface): "The aim of aerofoil theory is to explain and to predict the force experienced by an aerofoil, and a satisfactory theory has been developed in recent years for the lift force in the ordinary working range below the critical angle and for that part of the drag force which is independent of the viscosity of the air....

Scope and Contents Document Type: Textbook (Technical).Purpose: Training and Education.Authority: Author Expertise.Scope (from Preface): "An actual demand does, however, seem to exist for a book at an intermediate level [on the mechanics of flight], say, on the borderline between the last year of college and the first year of graduate work. It is assumed that the reader of the present text knows the principles of calculus and has some training in general...
