Synopsis

Devoting more than 300 pages to both theory and experiment, this volume moves from elementary material through to methods used in the design of NACA low-drag airfoils. It also sets out techniques for applying wing-section data to predict wing characteristics, making the content practical as well as analytical.

The text assumes a working knowledge of differential and integral calculus alongside elementary mechanics, and is positioned as a reference for engineering study and professional use.
