Aerodynamics concept boxes added throughout the book to bring real-world examples and applications to light as new material is being learned Chapter objectives to give readers a better understanding of the goal of each chapter and what concepts they should understand after reading through the chapter Significant re-writing of material and derivations from previous editions to improve clarity and usefulness Extra examples problems have been added to improve understanding of how to apply concepts to useful applications Significant new sections added on the topics of: importance of aerodynamics to aircraft performance, the irrotational flow condition, applications of potential flow theory to aerodynamics, expanded description of airfoil geometry and nomenclature, high lift military airfoils, the effect of taper ratio on wing efficiency, induced drag estimation, converging-diverging nozzles, shock/shock interactions, subsonic compressible transformations, additional compressibility corrections, critical Mach number, drag divergence Mach number, base drag, and the distinguishing characteristics of hypersonic flow Updated figures and photographs to help readers see concepts from real examples and on real aircraft
