This book has become the classic reference work for the model sailplane designer who desires a more technical explanation of aerodynamics and stability and control than is available elsewhere in the model literature. This is a newly revised edition which is in english only. Aerodynamic Design of Radioguided Sailplanes begins with an explanation and discussion of elementary aerodynamics. Each sailplane component - wing, fuselage, empennage - is then individually examined in detail. Having analyzed each individual part, a subsequent chapter discusses the interaction of these parts as a complete sailplane. Chapters on longitudinal static stability, lateral static stability, and maneuverability make this book extremely comprehensive. A math and physics refresher and a number of examples are included in a workbook section, thus assuring the reader a grasp of all necessary elements. A complete bibliography rounds out the book.
298 pages, 8 1/2" x 10 1/2", fully illustrated. US$28.00
