Author Description

A companion volume to the text, Practical Intake Aerodynamic Design, this important book considers the problem of airflow, both internal and external to the air intake, as applied to both civil and military aircraft. It covers the aerodynamics of both subsonic and supersonic intakes in real flows, maintaining a progression through the transonic range. Also considered is the critically necessary joint perspective of the airframe designer and the propulsion specialist in practical cases. The text keeps mathematics to the simplest practical level and contains over 300 drawings and diagrams.
