 The classical approach and text to section design Nov 27, 2000
By Dr Drieux
I have worn out two copies of this in my professional days, and I am doing so again with my 'hobby' copy. It is much handier that the on-line references for NACA data and for doing the 'quick flip through' when thinking about design. It is not, however, for either the mathematicall un-initiated, nor for the first-time designer. The book is both thorough and rigorous in its treatment of the topics it covers. All in all, along with the other standard texts, it supplies the needed data ad information when thinking 'I wonder if that will work...'

A must for Aerospace Students or Engineers. Sep 26, 1999
Even if the book is old, it's the base of the airfoil understanding, because of the data included. Don't look for strange things here, just the classic stuff, but very complete.

 The classic reference book on airfoils Jan 21, 1999
By Paul Wiedorn
This should be the first book on the shelf of any serious aircraft designer. The first half of the book is a review of classic airfoil theory, including all of the pertinent formulas. It is a bit dry and definitely not a textbook, but rather a comprehensive reference manual. Most people skip the text and buy the book for the second half, which is a compilation of all the basic NACA airfoils. Each airfoil shape is exactly described and includes graphs of performance data. This is a "must have" book for anyone who wants to design airfoils, whether they are the wings of an airplane, or the fins, rudders, etc. of a sailboat.

Indispensable reference text for airfoils Sep 18, 1999
This book contains a historical review of the development of wing sections along with their mathematical basis and provides not only coordinates but performance data on many. Most of the source data for my shareware program came from this book.

A Classic Mar 21, 2007
By Elijah Chingosho
"Dr Elijah Chingosho"
This is a well written book that aircraft designers and those engaged in a serious study of wing aerodynamics will find useful, helpful and handy. This is not a book for the novice but for aeronautical engineering specialists who can handle fluid dynamics theory, performance and other mathematical manipulations. Although the book has been around for some time (I first used it at university as a recommended text in aerodynamics over 25 years ago), the theory and concepts are still very much relevant and applicable today.
For those seeking advanced knowledge on wing aerodynamics theory and have a flair for mathematics especially calculus, this is an excellent reference book that is well recommended.
