If you're interested in understanding the principles of aerodynamics and aircraft design, this outstanding sourcebook is the place to turn! Whether you're a pilot, technician, flight student, or kitbuilder, a knowledge of basic aerodynamics is essential.

H.C. Smith avoids dry technical jargon and complex calculations as he demonstrates how aerodynamic factors affect all aircraft in terms of lift, thrust, drag, in-air performance, stability, and control. The Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics gives you an inside look at how modern aircraft are designed - including all the steps in the design process, from cockpit to test flight, and the reasoning behind them. Now updated and expanded, this handy guide also features coverage of:

  • Aircraft turning and accelerated climb performance
  • Takeoff velocities
  • Load and velocity-load factors
  • Area rule of coke bottle™ shape in fighter aircraft
  • Hypersonic flight

    as well as the latest advances in laminar flow airfoils, wing and fuselage design, and high-performance lightplanes. In addition, Smith includes a convenient question-and-answer appendix - especially helpful for anyone studying aeronautical engineering. With The Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics, you'll have all the information you need to fully comprehend this complex, yet fascinating, science!
