Theoretical Aerodynamics

This book provides a user-friendly treatment of theoretical aerodynamics for both newcomers to the field and engineers who want to understand things quickly. All topics are explained in simple terms, gradually progressing from the basics to a higher level. The theory of aerofoil, its design features, and performance aspects are introduced systematically, as are fluid mechanics, the theory and application of Joukowski transformation, the vortex dynamics, and wing theory. The examples are designed to fix the theory studied in an effective manner, while the physics behind the process is clearly explained throughout.
