4.0 out of 5 stars
The definitive guide to classical applied aerodynamics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Aerodynamic Design of Aircraft (Pergamon international library of science, technology, engineering, and social studies) (Hardcover)
This book, written in the early to mid 1970s, covers the whole of classical analytical aerodynamics, in the tradition of Ludwig Prandtl, up to the early days of CFD methods. The author was a member and eventually Head of Aerodynamics Department at the Royal Aircraft Establishment, Farnborough, having been a student of Ludwig Prandtl at Gottingen before the second world war. Kuchemann discusses basic concepts for generating lift and drag and works through the types of aircraft shape needed to fly efficiently at up to hypersonic conditions. Although dated by the lack of coverage of CFD, the basis in classical theory allows sensitivities to be understood by the mathematically literate.
