Description:"By far the major part of experimental work in aerodynamics has been conducted in Europe rather than in America, where the feat of flying in a heavier than air machine was first accomplished. This book presents in greater detail than has hitherto been attempted in this country the application of aerodynamic research conducted abroad to practical airplane design. The airplane industry is now shifting from the design and construction of military types of craft to that of pleasure and commercial types. The publication of this book at this time is, therefore, opportune, and it should go far toward replacing by scientific procedure many of the "cut and try" methods now used. Employment of the data presented should enable designers to save both time and expense. The arrangement, presentation of subject matter, and explanation of the derivation of working formulae, together with the assumptions upon which they are based, and consequently their limitations, are such that the book lends itself to use as a text in technical schools and colleges. The dedication of this volume to Wilbur and Orville Wright is at once appropriate and significant; appropriate, in that it is a tangible expression of the keen appreciation of the author for the great work of these two brothers; and significant, in that it is a return, in the form of a rational analysis of many of the problems relating to airplane design and operation, on the part of the product of an older civilization to the product of the new, as a sort of recompense for the daring, courage and inventive genius which made human flight possible."--introduction.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
