Title: Model Aircraft Aerodynamics by Martin Simons ISBN: 1-85486-190-5 Publisher: Nexus Special Interests Pub. Date: September, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $34.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.71 (7 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Interesting
Comment: Unfortunatly, the author uses Bernoulli's principle to explain lift. Also, his use of equations is minimal. Please see John D. Anderson's book if you wish to understand aerodynamic theory. Otherwise, the other customers' reviews stand.
Rating: 5
Summary: Highly detailed text book. Intense reading but worthwhile
Comment: The book is, to me, hard to read because there is little to no "scenery" in the book. Every sentence is packed with information which results in a slow read particular for a newcomer to the field of aerodynamics like myself.
Inevitably, every page is filled with "Why didn't I think of that" - type revelations. Don't rush into the book. Take it a page at a time because the pace builds up quickly - particularly in the first few chapters. If you don't understand a chapter, you will waste your time on the next. A Book for the patient, but eager to learn.
Martin Simons is an expert in his field and in this conversational, intense, book his knowledge is shared well.
Definitely the pride of my library.

Summary: Model Aircraft Aerodynamics by Martin Simons
Comment: This is an excellent book, applicable to much more than model aircraft. Most of it's material is applicable to full size sailplanes and aircraft also. The book is not heavily mathematical, and chapters start with basic fundamentals and build from there. Significant prior knowledge is not required, but helpful. I actually bought the book after reading a copy of a friend's. I was pleasantly suprized to find that the later edition that I bought had more material in the same down to earth style as the first. Great book.
