With this new edition the successful pedagogical features such as chapter roadmaps preview boxes design boxes and summary sections are continued in order to motivate the reader to be excited about the subject and to want to learn the material. This book is meant to be read; the writing style is intentionally conversational in order to make the book easier to read. The book is designed to talk to the reader; in part to be a self teaching instrument. Fundamentals of Aerodynamics is much more than just a presentation of equations and end-of-chapter homework problems. It emphasizes the rich theoretical and physical background of aerodynamics and marbles in many historical notes to provide a background as to where the aerodynamic technology comes from.Now available with the sixth edition of Fundamentals of Aerodynamics Connect. Connect is the only integrated learning system that empowers students by continuously adapting to deliver precisely what they need when they need it how they need it so that your class time is more engaging and effective.

The response to the first three editions of Modern Compressible Flow: With Historical Perspective, from students, faculty, and practicing professionals has been overwhelmingly favorable. Therefore, this new edition preserves much of this successful content while adding important new components. It preserves the authors informal writing style that talks to the reader, that gains the readers interest, and makes the study of compressible flow an enjoyable experience. Moreover, it blends the classical nature of the subject with modern aspects of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and high temperature gas dynamics so important to modern applications of compressible flow. In short, this book is a unique teaching and learning experience.
