This is the latest edition - fully revised and updated - of the standard
textbook on aerodynamic theory, as applied to model flight. Everything
is explained in a concise and practical form for those enthusiasts who
appreciate that a better understanding of model behaviour is the sure
path to greater success and enjoyment, whether just for fun or in
competition.
The revisions for this new edition reflect the significant developments
in model aircraft during the last few years, and include brand new data:
* The chapter on aerofoils has been rewritten to take account of the
vast amount of testing carried out recently in the USA by the University
of Illinois.
* A brand new chapter explains the latest research into the flight of
birds and insects and how it is applied to small drones and model-sized
surveillance aircraft.
* Older wind tunnel test reports all replaced with the latest trials
and measurements.
