Theory of Flight (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Theory of Flight<br><br>Although the book is meant as a text for students and engineers it was not the author''s purpose to supply the reader with ready-made formulas in which to substitute design data.

The book aims as did the Fluglehre to develop interest in and understanding of the fundamental ideas that underlie the design and the operation of modern aircraft.
