Basic Wing And Airfoil Theory

This graduate-level treatment of aerodynamic theory opens with a survey of vector analysis and complex variables that presents readers with the basic tools for handling subsequent chapters. Topics include flow functions, airfoil construction and pressure distribution, finite and monoplane wings, spanwise load distribution for arbitrary wings, and many other subjects. 1951 edition

A pioneer in the study of wind effects, Alan Pope was Professor of the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He also served as Director of Flight for Sandia National Laboratories.
