Klappentext This text, written by renowned experts, clearly presents the basic concepts of aerodynamics for engineering students. Zusammenfassung Basic Aerodynamics presents the fundamental concepts of aerodynamic prediction methodology. These concepts are closely linked to physical principles so they are better retained and their limits of applicability appreciated. The text is for a course in aerodynamics for undergraduates or graduates. A comprehensive set of exercise problems is included. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1. Introduction to aerodynamics; 2.
