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)
