Aerodynamics of the Airplane

Temporarily out of stock

Written on the eve of World War II, this brief but intensive introduction by one of the founders of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory deals with the basic problems of aerodynamics. State-of-the-art at the time of its original publication, Millikan's pioneering work will appeal to science historians as well as students looking to encounter this legendary text by one of the earliest and most important members of their profession.
