Classic Aerodynamics:
It's an excellent book, but mathematical it can be a little challenging. I wore out my first copy, but I was lucky enough to find a first edition hardcover. I especially liked the part that deals with flow about arbitrary wing sections. In the theory you need to know specific points to do the calculations, but with a little modification to the theory you can choose arbitrary points. I still use the program I made years ago. It's fast and it gives pretty good results (it's based on a perfect fluid so no... more info
Good Book:
I found this book very interesting and complete although it is VERY technical and i recommend it for only those who know a lot about the theme
A Classic:
This is a well written book that aircraft designers and those engaged in a serious study of wing aerodynamics will find useful, helpful and handy. This is not a book for the novice but for aeronautical engineering specialists who can handle fluid dynamics theory, performance and other mathematical manipulations. Although the book has been around for some time (I first used it at university as a recommended text in aerodynamics over 25 years ago), the theory and concepts are still very much relevant... more info
Review of the book "Theory of Wing Sections":
To Whom it May Conccern.
This is probably the best book written on the subject. regards
