Theory of Wing Sections: Including a Summary of Airfoil Data (Dover Books on Aeronautical Engineering): Ira H. Abbott, A. E. von Doenhoff

The "Most Useful in Working with Wing Sections" book is a comprehensive guide for engineers, students, and professionals working in the field of aerodynamics.

With over 300 pages of theoretical and experimental considerations, this book provides a detailed analysis of modern NASA wing sections and their characteristics.

The author has carefully selected plots and cross-plots of experimental data to help readers easily correlate certain simplifying assumptions made in the analyses. The book covers various aspects of aerodynamics, including the theory of thin wings and airfoils, and provides a complete summary of the NACA's experimental observations and system of constructing families of airfoils.

The appendix contains valuable tables such as Basic Thickness Forms, Mean Lines, Airfoil Ordinates, and Aerodynamic Characteristics of Wing Sections. This book is an essential resource for anyone working in the field of aerodynamics, providing a wealth of information on how to predict wing characteristics using section data.

With its comprehensive coverage and practical approach, this book is sure to become a valuable addition to any engineering or scientific library.
