What They're Saying
Critics Review
“This book is a very useful digest of key points from the literature, carefully structured and presented with helpful pointers as to how the successive aerodynamical models can be implemented in the ‘now so readily available interactive matrix computation systems.” (Aeronautical Journal, 1 August 2013)
About The Author
G.D. McBain
Dr. Geordie Drummond McBain, Australia
Geordie McBain is an engineering consultant based in Sydney, Australia. In 1995 he graduated top of his class from James Cook University with first class honours in mechanical engineering, earning him the Faculty Medal, and went on to receive his PhD there in 1999. In 2002 he was awarded a Sesquicentennial Postdoctoral Fellowship at the University of Sydney, researching fluid dynamics. During this period, he taught aerodynamics to students on the Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering degree programmes.
