Product Description
Book Description
In keeping with its bestselling previous editions, "Fundamentals of Aerodynamics", fourth edition, offers the most readable, interesting, and up-to-date overview of aerodynamics to be found in any text. The classic organization of the text has been preserved, with new stand-alone viscous flow sections at the end of various chapters to conceptualize the coverage of this topic in part 4, and complement discussion of fundamental principles in part 1, inviscid incompressible flow in part 2, and inviscid compressible flow in part 3. Historical topics, carefully developed examples, numerous illustrations, and a wide selection of chapter problems are found throughout the text to motivate and challenge students of aerodynamics.
About the Author
John D. Anderson, Jr. is the Curator of Aerodynamics at the National Air & Space Museum Smithsonian Institute and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland.

Excellent Aerospace Engineering Reference,
By George P. Burdell (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aerodynamics (Hardcover)
This excellent book is full of examples and equations to help students relate to the fundamental concepts in an introductory aerodynamics class. The book is especially useful for reference, as it explains the derivations and many forms of complex equations such as the continuity equation. Furthermore, there are lots of examples of real-world design situations and historical backgrounds. Overall, one of the best books I have used in my undergraduate aerospace engineering curriculum.

Excellent book!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aerodynamics (Hardcover)
Great book for first and second semester aerodynamics. Especially the sections on supersonics and hypersonics. Links the technical and historical aspects of aerodynamics to give a very good global perspective of the subject. Anderson also provides "roadmaps" which tend to help the reader stay on track as to where the discussion is going. Those are especially helpful for technical books such as this one.

Fundamentals of Aerodynamics,
By Nomy - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Fundamentals of Aerodynamics (Hardcover)
This book is one of the best written books I have. This book is well-organized, clearly written and easily understood. Each chapter contains a road map to keep the reader well aware of the proper flow of ideas and concepts.
