Inhaltsangabe
Developed for humanities students at Yale and intended for the general reader interested in flight, this book is about aerodynamics in the broadest sense. To put the science into its social context, the author describes (with illustrations) the history of human attempts to fly and discusses the outlook for future developments, as well as the social impact of commercial aviation. The scientific explanations, although rigorous, only employ elementary mathematics and emphasize pictorial representation. Non-expert physics readers should gain an enhanced knowledge of physics and reinforce their understanding of what keeps the huge airliners up. The book is also intended to help the non-technical reader appreciate some of the details of the exciting recent developments in technology. This introductory textbook on aerodynamics and aerospace engineering is intended for students and general readers.
