Measuring Drag
Thanks for the replies and the recommendation of the John Anderson Jr book.
I have read a number of his other books- History of Aerodynamics , and another on the history of aircraft technology. He is a very readable author for those without formal training or strong calculus skills. I will be on the lookout for it.
It has seemed to me that the "book" figures of the aircraft I have flown(Saab 340 and CRJ 200 being the largest) have been a little on the optimistic side. Could this be attributed to the theoretical computational methods ?
