Summary
Now in a fresh, up-to-date edition, this book covers all aspects of low speed wind tunnel testing technology,
from the design and use of wind tunnels to the complex instrumentation used in testing analysis. It includes coverage
of basic test techniques, and objectives of modeling and testing aircraft designs in wind tunnels at speeds below
the speed of sound.
