Specialization is indicated but a background knowledge is an essential of any education.This volume is a result of several semesters of the author's teaching of an introductory course in aerodynamics to apprentices and technicians at the NASA Langley Research Center. SUPERSONIC FLOWThe SSTSonic BoomVII. The science of aerodynamics can be traced back thousands of years to its beginnings but, remarkably, only one human life span has separated the first heavier-than-air powered airplane flight at Kitty Hawk from the first manned moon landing. TRANSONIC FLOWVI. The last few decades have witnessed phenomenal growth in the science and technology of aerodynamics and no letup is in sight. 171 illustrations and diagrams.Includes the following sections:ForewordI. The result is a highly qualitative, illustrated set of notes which, through the teaching process, was modified to fulfill the objectives better.A thorough revision of these notes with considerable up-to-date material has resulted in the text as presented herein.
