5.0 out of 5 stars Well written and an excellent source of information, March 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Tailless Aircraft in Theory and Practice (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
I found this book an excellent introduction to the art of tailless aircraft design. It is a well laid out book which allows you either to read it through, or to browse topics of particular interest to the reader. The enthusiasm of the authors is obvious from the tone of the book and isn't lost in the translation from German. Most of the explanations and solutions are given in a conceptual form often by analogy before the maths is presented in any detail. This makes it a very easy book to use and understand.

Fantastic book. You can get it through your local library system instead of paying the crazy prices the used sellers are asking.
