Monumental text offers comprehensive, detailed coverage of every aspect of theory and design: elements of vertical flight, forward flight, performance, mathematics of rotating systems, rotary wing dynamics and aerodynamics, aeroelasticity, stability and control, more. Essential reading for those interested in design and development of vertical-flight aircraft. 189 illustrations. 1980 edition.
Theory of Flight by Richard von Mises Mises' classic avoids the formidable mathematical structure of fluid dynamics, while conveying — by often unorthodox methods — a full understanding of the physical phenomena and mathematical concepts of aeronautical engineering.
Rotary-Wing Aerodynamics by W. Z. Stepniewski Clear, concise text covers aerodynamic phenomena of the rotor and offers guidelines for helicopter performance evaluation. Originally prepared for NASA. Prefaces. New Indexes. 10 black-and-white photos. 537 figures.
An Introduction to the Theory of Aeroelasticity by Y C Fung Geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this outstanding text surveys aeroelastic problems, their historical background, basic physical concepts, and the principles of analysis.
Basic Wing and Airfoil Theory by Alan Pope This self-contained treatment by a pioneer in the study of wind effects covers flow functions, airfoil construction and pressure distribution, finite and monoplane wings, and many other subjects. 1951 edition.
