Description
Theory of Wing Sections: Including a Summary of Airfoil Data is a comprehensive reference work for engineers and students. First published in 1959, this book has been corrected and republished to meet ongoing demand for a concise compilation of subsonic aerodynamics characteristics of modern wing sections. The book provides detailed geometric and aerodynamic data, covering theoretical and experimental considerations, including the design of NACA low-drag airfoils and methods for predicting wing characteristics using section data. A valuable resource for those working with wing sections, this book is accompanied by a substantial appendix containing tables on basic thickness forms, mean lines, airfoil ordinate, and aerodynamic characteristics. Suitable for reference purposes, Theory of Wing Sections: Including a Summary of Airfoil Data offers a thorough understanding of the theory behind modern wing sections, making it an essential resource for those in the field.
