Aerodynamics books
Hi chaps. .. .I'm thinking about getting a book about aerodynamics, ideally covering things from the Spamcans I learn in to some of the more radical concepts that have been tried. The aim is just to get a bit of an understanding about what goes into aircraft design, and not to pass exams.. .. .I've been recommended Kermode's "Flight without formulae", and wondered what people think of it. I'm not actually worried about formulae - I've got a PhD in Theoretical Physics, so I can cope <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> - and would actually prefer them to a page of text covering something that can be written down in a line or two of maths.. .. .However, I'd like something that is a reasonably easy read, so I don't want to get a full-blown aerodynamics textbook. Any thoughts on Flight without Formulae, or any other suggestions?. .. .Cheers <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
