The latest research into the flight of birds and insects which is now being applied to small drones and miniature surveillance aircraftUpdated content includes expansions to the information on aerofoils to take into account the vast amount of testing carried out in recent years, including radio frequency (RC) aircraft and dronesComprehensive information on factors affecting lift and drag, scale effect and the boundary layer, basic model performance problems, reducing induced draft, aspect, ratio, and moreMake your drones fly better with a thorough understanding of aerodynamics for model aircraftGet the latest updates and revisions to this modern, in-depth book that is considered the standard work on aerodynamic theory, as applied to model flight!
The revisions to this updated edition reflect the significant developments in model aircraft, including radio frequency (RC) model aircraft and drones, over the last few years. Additional content includes extensions to the chapter on aerofoils (or airfoils) to take account of the vast amount of testing carried out recently in the USA at the University of Illinois. A new chapter explains the latest research into the flight of birds and insects which is being applied now to small drones and miniature surveillance aircraft. Older wind tunnel test reports have been replaced with the latest trials and measurements. Full-color photos and line drawings are featured throughout to help illuminate topics like factors affecting lift and drag, scale effect and the boundary layer, basic model performance problems, reducing induced draft, aspect, ratio, and more.
Inside this classic reference, everything is explained in a concise and practical way for drone enthusiasts who appreciate that a better understanding of model behavior is the sure path to greater success and enjoyment!
