Aerospace engineering

Scope and Contents Document Type: Book (Technical Reference).Purpose: Authoritative Reference.Authority: Author Expertise.Scope (from Preface): "This book specializing on the subject of drag, is not a theoretical textbook. The results of theoretical calculations are used, however, as a basis and as a framework, within which the various problems concerning the drag of bodies in air or in any other medium are presented. The author's objective is to present...

Scope and Contents 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...

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...
