Synopsis

Aeronautics: A Class Text is a book written by Edwin Bidwell Wilson in 1920. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the field of aeronautics, covering topics such as the history of flight, aerodynamics, aircraft design, and flight mechanics. The author also discusses the principles of flight and the various types of aircraft used in aviation. The book is intended to serve as a textbook for students studying aeronautics and provides a detailed introduction to the field. The author's writing style is clear and concise, making the book accessible to readers with varying levels of knowledge about the subject. Overall, Aeronautics: A Class Text is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and science of flight.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Massachusetts Institute ofT echnology, courses of lectures on those portions of dynamics, both rigid and fluid, which are fundamental in aeronautical engineering. The more elementary parts of these courses, covering about ninety out of one hundred fifty lectures, are found in this book. Although it has been customary to teach the two subjects of rigid and of fluid dynamics in parallel or in rapid alternation, so that they are both developed as needed for-each other and for the accompanying courses on airplane and airship design, it has seemed better in making a presentation in book form to separate them. The student should have completed Chaps. IX-XII of the fluid mechanics before undertaking the latter part of Chap. VI. A number of topics which might well be included in a work on aeronautics have been omitted from the book, as they are from my lectures, because they can be taken up so much better in the parallel courses on design. In the preparation of the selected material I have had constantly in mind my own experience and needs relative to effective classroom instruction, particularly in the matter of Hsts of exercises. Although my students are supposed to have completed thorough courses in calculus, including the elements of differential equations, and in theoretical and applied mechanics, it has seemed better to assume tooK ttle, rather than too much, as retained in usable form. I hope, therefore, that with the present interest in aeronautics in particular, and in applied mathematics in general, this work may prove stimulating to other than technical students of aeronautical engineering. Nobody can issue a book on aeronautics at this time without lamenting the fact that much, if not most, of the progress in theory which has been made during the war, particularly in England, has not yet been released for publication. To wait, however, until its release
