Originator of many of the theories used in modern wing design,
Robert T. Jones surveys the aerodynamics of wings from the early
theories of lift to modern theoretical developments. This work
covers the behavior of wings at both low and high speeds, including
the range from very low Reynolds numbers to the determination of
minimum drag at supersonic speed. Emphasizing analytical
techniques, Wing Theory provides invaluable physical principles and
insights for advanced students, professors, and aeronautical
engineers, as well as for scientists involved in computational
approaches to the subject. This book is based on over forty years
of theoretical and practical work performed by the author and other
leading researchers in the field of aerodynamics.
Originally published in 1990.
The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these
important books while presenting them in durable paperback
editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly
increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the
thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since
its founding in 1905.
