Model flying is a challenging and exciting hobby as well as a
recognized international sport. The broad principles of flight as
applied in full-size aviation are just as important to flying
models, but these principles are not always recognized or
understood fully by aeromodellers. Written specifically with
aeromodellers in mind, Model Planes: Aerofoils and Wings is a
practical guide to the aerodynamic principles of the 'aerofoil' and
the way that wings produce lift, which is vital to establishing
flight. Included are over forty ready-to-use aerofoil sections in a
range of typical sizes, together with a detailed method of plotting
these sections on a home computer, using Excel or a similar
software. A comprehensive glossary provides clear explanations of
the modelling terminology used, and diagrams illustrate key
principles and themes. Written by a distinguished aerospace
engineer with a passion for modelling, this comprehensive volume is
perfect for the enthusiastic aeromodeller, whether starting out or
looking to hone their craft.
