Description

Written for upper-level aerospace and mechanical engineering students on courses in compressible or low speed aerodynamics, this book summarizes and brings up to date the field of inviscid, incompressible and irrotational aerodynamics in a comprehensive, and detailed manner. Worked examples throughout the text and end-of-chapter problems aim to help students better understand the material.
