• Sommario/riassunto: Richly illustrated chapters feature geometric types of problems ranging from the classic airfoil problem to the complexity of complete aircraft such as the 737, 7J7, the F-16, and the Space Shuttle launch configuration. Plus, applications for components are also detailed, including wings, high-lift systems, propulsion system components, and rotors.Featuring a complete overview of all of design developments and studies, with hundreds of illustrations (more than 60 in full color) spanning more than 900 pages, this is truly an impressive resource.
