Aerodynamics for Engineers

‘This textbook is an essential resource for anyone in aerodynamics or aircraft design. Offering clear explanations of aerodynamics principles and practical applications, it is invaluable for professionals and students alike.’ Juan Montoro, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics‘Aerodynamics is such a vast field, incorporating physics, mathematics, design and operational experience, as to be bewildering; however, this book provides a logical narrative through the subject. The content and exercises are representative of professional practice and supplementing traditional theory and analysis.’ Chris Atkin, University of East Anglia, UK‘This textbook is an essential resource for anyone in aerodynamics or aircraft design.
