5.0 out of 5 stars Prouty Teaches Aerodynamics!, March 30, 2000

This review is from: Helicopter Aerodynamics

This is one of the 5 basic books that I use to teach Army Aviators about aerodynamics. "Helicopter Aerodynamics", "More Helicopter Aerodynamics and "Even More Helicopter Aerodynamics", all by Prouty, are unbeatable. Prouty is a engineer by trade but teaches with a talent that makes it easy for all to understand. I can't think of any better advice for someone wishing to learn about helicopter and how they fly than to read all three.

5.0 out of 5 stars Still The Best, April 25, 2009

This review is from: Helicopter Aerodynamics (Paperback)

Ray Prouty's three classic three books on helicopter aerodynamics (helicopter Aerodynamics(HA), More HA and Even more HA)are brought together in a single, affordable tome. Written with the engineer and pilot in mind these were originally collated from a collection of magazine articles and provide one of the most useful and approachable sources of rotorcraft wisdom. A perfect mentoring aid. There are more in depth books, including several by the same author, but none more accessable. Every helicopter pilot, crewman and engineer should have a well thumbed copy in their desk.
