Firmly established as the leading complete course text on aerodynamics for undergraduates, this book has been revised to include the latest developments in flow control and boundary layers and their influence on modern wing design. In addition, computational methods commonly applied in aerodynamic design and testing are introduced, echoing the philosophy of commercial aerodynamics design, where massive computational power is vital. Numerous worked examples are included.
Contents: Basic fluid mechanics 1 * Basic fluid mechanics 2 * The elements of two-dimensional wing theory * Finite wing theory * Viscous flow and boundary layers * Wings in compressible flow * Aspects of wing design and flow control * Propellers and propulsion * Bibliography

"... many undergraduates... have greatly benefited from the logical development of theory, backed by many excellent sketches, graphs, worked examples and exercises with answers. The book remains a valuable text for the undergraduate not least because of the extensive use of well annotated examples and the broad range of topics covered." The Aeronautical Journal.
"The book is clearly written and can be confidently recommended as a general and comprehensive aerodynamics text for the use of students of aeonautical engineering." Journal of Aerospace Engineering.
