Basic Wing and Airfoil Theory

Basic Wing and Airfoil Theory by Alan Pope is a comprehensive guide to the fundamental principles of wing and airfoil theory. The book covers the basic concepts of fluid mechanics, including pressure, lift, and drag, and how they relate to the design and performance of wings and airfoils. It also explores the various types of airfoils and wings, including their shapes, dimensions, and properties, and how they affect the aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. The book is designed to be accessible to students and professionals alike, with clear explanations and numerous examples and illustrations to help readers understand the material. Whether you are a student of aerospace engineering or a practicing engineer or pilot, Basic Wing and Airfoil Theory is an essential resource for understanding the principles of wing and airfoil design and performance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
