  • Airfoil Sections

    This book is quite complete, but somewhat above my math skills. I an not certain that that is a complete barrier for understanding what it has to say. The background data included in the back takes a little concentration to get at the details of the plots. but are very informative. In the process, I have learned more about airfoil sections. I am a licensed pilot and builder of computer flight simulator models of aircraft, and find this book very helpful.
