Some interesting reads
Posted: Tue Nov 10, 2009 11:04 pmHey all,
Haven't been around much, I've wanted to get back into flight sim but I have no time. I've been working on a research paper for my aerodynamics class, and came across this awesome set of articles about all sorts of technologies developed by NASA Langley.
I really only read about the area rule and supercritical wings, but overall it's a great read and really well explained. Some conceptual stuff is left out, I'd suggest consulting wikipedia for some basics if you get lost, but overall, an interesting read!
