Excerpt from Wing Theory
Mathematical wing theory is of great practical importance and at the same time of considerable theoretical depth and interest. When writing a book on a subject such as this, one is faced, inevitably, with a number of conflicting requirements. There is the desirability of presenting a com prehensive account of the theory as against the practical need for keeping the undertaking within reasonable bounds; there are the demands of mathematical rigour involving at times the introduction of subtle techniques which might be a heavy burden for those who are interested in the subject chiefly for practical reasons; there is the question whether to describe only the most efficient method for the solution of a particular problem, although an earlier and less efficient method provides a better insight into the topic under consideration; and so on. We have tried to resolve all these difficulties by compromise, inclining sometimes to one side and sometimes to the other. We shall not try to justify our choice in detail; the result constitutes the present book, and it is left to the reader to decide whether we have found a reasonable solution to the problem.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of aerofoil theory, a field of study that seeks to understand the aerodynamic forces acting on wings, both single and in systems, in motion through a fluid. The author, drawing on years of lectures at esteemed institutions, provides a comprehensive exploration of the subject, tailored to those seeking an advanced understanding of the field. This book bridges the gap between theoretical and practical applications, proving invaluable for professionals working in industry, academia, and research. The text takes a deep dive into the intricate mathematics underpinning this complex subject, relying on a solid understanding of calculus and complex variables. The author carefully presents essential concepts of hydrodynamics, setting the stage for the exploration of aerofoil theory. The book meticulously tackles both two-dimensional and three-dimensional scenarios, showcasing the profound impact of mathematical wing theory on practical applications. The author acknowledges the complex balance between comprehensive theoretical coverage and the need to maintain manageable scope. They strive for mathematical rigor, while simultaneously considering the practical needs of readers who may not require the full depth of the analysis. The book ultimately offers a powerful blend of theoretical insight and practical relevance, demonstrating the vital role of aerofoil theory in the understanding of flight and other aerodynamic phenomena.
