| Essential
reading for model aircraft contest fliers. This is the
only book on the market explaining propeller theory
in non-mathematical terms. A rattling good read, I know,
I wrote it. Get
a taste for the book, read the post publication Chapter
9! |

A modern
treatment of both the theory of inviscid, incompressible,
and irrotational aerodynamics, and the computational
techniques.
Supercool
says:
"The book is written as a highly rigorous and
formalised study of vortex theory, which is applied
to the so-called "panel method". It
is a delight. .. this chapter breaks down the vector
cross-products.... how brilliantly useful!"

This is
a classical text for aeronautical engineering for
the expert, expert-to-be or novice. A large portion
of the book deals with specific NACA airfoils.
Supercool says:
"I went to considerable trouble to purchase Abbott
and von Doenhoff (A&vD), back about 12 years ago.
It was one of the best and most useful book purchases
I have ever made..." More
