Synopsis

INTRODUCTION TO AERODYNAMICS applies to existing need in the void between simplistic flight explanations for public school students and mathematically complex publications for aeronautical professionals.

The 224 page book with 167 illustrations begins with applicable principles of Newtonian physics presented in aerodynamics context, and progresses into more aerodynamics in Newtonian terms of air mass interaction with aircraft surfaces. Airplanes, autogyros, helicopters and surface effect planes are all discussed.
