Customer Reviews

classic aeronautical text
This is a classical text for aeronautical engineering for the expert, expert-to-be or novice. A large portion of the book deals with specific NACA airfoils and the math is advanced. But even without the math, one can glean much knowledge between these covers.

The book is truly a must edition for any aviation library, whether you are an engineer, kit builder or simply an aviation enthusiast. Last, I gain nothing from this review other than the satisfaction of providing an objective opinion for anyone selecting books due to an interest in aviation. Learn to fly. Build an aircraft

The classical approach and text to section design
I have worn out two copies of this in my professional days, and I am doing so again with my 'hobby' copy. It is much handier that the on-line references for NACA data and for doing the 'quick flip through' when thinking about design. It is not, however, for either the mathematicall un-initiated, nor for the first-time designer. The book is both thorough and rigorous in its treatment of the topics it covers. All in all, along with the other standard texts, it supplies the needed data ad information when thinking 'I wonder if that will work...'

A must for Aerospace Students or Engineers.
Even if the book is old, it's the base of the airfoil understanding, because of the data included. Don't look for strange things here, just the classic stuff, but very complete.
