Good General Aerodynamics Book
Good General Aerodynamics Book
(OP)
I am a Structures Engineer, who hasn't dealt with calculating aerodynamic loads (lift and drag) in a long time (since college, and I either sold back my text book or I borrowed it for the classes, I believe it was by Anderson). These aero loads were always provided to me and I utilized them to accomplish the structural analysis. I recently was involved in some work, where lift and drag of an installed component on an A/C had to be calculated and I really struggled with accomplishing this from memory, luckily I was able to utilize the expertese of a fellow engineer. Now I am looking at purchasing an aerodynamics book for my own reference and since they are relatively expensive, I want to know which text would be the best for my application. I would generally be calculating lift and drag on components installed on the exterior of an aircraft fuselage, (i.e. gps antenna, blade antenna, camera pods, etc....) Any suggestions?
