Applied Airfoil Theory

  • Chapter
Aerodynamic Theory

Abstract

Basic aerodynamic theory, as developed in Volume II, Division E of this series, furnishes the broad foundation for further advance in aeronautics, and in its applications to the practical problems of safe and economic air-transport. However, between the development of a broad and general body of theory and its application to the needs of aeronautic industry, there lies a very considerable domain which may properly be called “Applied Aerodynamics” and which must be concerned largely with experimental tests, full scale and model, guided on the one hand by basic theory and on the other by the continuing accumulation of the results of such experimental work.

Besonderer Hinweis

Dieses Kapitel ist Teil des Digitalisierungsprojekts Springer Book Archives mit Publikationen, die seit den Anfängen des Verlags von 1842 erschienen sind. Der Verlag stellt mit diesem Archiv Quellen für die historische wie auch die disziplingeschichtliche Forschung zur Verfügung, die jeweils im historischen Kontext betrachtet werden müssen. Dieses Kapitel ist aus einem Buch, das in der Zeit vor 1945 erschienen ist und wird daher in seiner zeittypischen politisch-ideologischen Ausrichtung vom Verlag nicht beworben.
