Model Aircraft Aerodynamics Fourth Edition
"Twenty years after the first publication, this book remains the standard work on its subject, continuing to attract worldwide interest and approval. It has become recognised as an excellent introduction to aerodynamics -- not only for model flying enthusiasts but also for people concerned with full-scale light and ultralight aeroplanes and sailplanes, remotely piloted surveillance and research aircraft, wind surfers and land yachts, and the designers of wind turbines. It reaches a far wider readership than was ever imagined when the first edition was written, but it remains the author's intention to serve chiefly model fliers.
For this fourth edition, the text has been revised in detail with some rewriting. Several sections have been added to incorporate new research results and to take account of developments n model flying practice. All the illustrative diagrams have been redrawn and a number of photographs have been included. The book presents standard aerodynamic theory, as applied to model flight, in a concise and practical form for those enthusiasts who appreciate that a better understanding of model behaviour yields greater success and enjoyment -- whether the models are flown purely for fun or in competition."
