Applied Aerodynamics - A Digital Textbook

by Ilan Kroo

A complete college-level textbook in applied aerodynamics compatible with web browsers.
Available on CD ROM for individual use or by site-license for corporate or academic intranets.


An expanding table of contents lets you see where you are and where you've been-no more getting lost in hypertext. And the contents can be customized. Rearrange the book, omit sections, or add your own links just by changing one text file.

Hundreds of full-color pictures illustrate concepts. Examples include the results from recent CFD simulations and internet links to additional information.

Embedded JAVA applets provide graphical presentations of interactive calculations. Programs include computations of airfoil pressures, wing lift distributions, canard/tail trimmed performance, and many others.

Video clips of simulation results and actual aircraft enliven pages. The book features original, NASA, and DOD video illustrating many of the concepts discussed in the text.


Hardware and Software Requirements

The text is read using World-Wide-Web browsing software (not included) and is compatible with most modern browsers. Video's require Apple Quicktime (available without charge on the internet), and Java applets require that browser Java support is enabled. The digital texbook will run on any machine that supports the web browser software, but the CD is compatible with Windows or Mac OS.

Ordering Information

The software is available on CD-ROM for $89, including the Java applets, but excluding the web browsing software (Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer).
