Reprint of the classic volume on the subject. Primarily for engineers and students, this 690 page textbook is a concise compilation of the aerodynamic characteristics of wing sections, plus a description of their geometry and associated theory. Over 300 pages are devoted to theoretical and experimental considerations, progressing to design methods and predicting characteristics; also includes sections on two-dimensional flows, thin wing sections, viscosity, high-lift devices and compressibility. Charts and graphs throughout.
