The behavior of the wing profile within an airflow has been a subject of study since the dawn of time, and even today it remains a relevant topic, although only in relation to aircraft traveling at speeds below the speed of sound. The study and analysis of high-speed aerodynamics, equal to or greater than the speed of sound, was irrelevant at the beginning of the aeronautical era, as aircraft could hardly reach supersonic speeds. With advances in the commercial aviation industry, aircraft improved their flight performance, reaching speeds unimaginable to the pioneers who founded the principles...
The behavior of the wing profile within an airflow has been a subject of study since the dawn of time, and even today it remains a relevant topic, although only in relation to aircraft traveling at speeds below the speed of sound. The study and analysis of high-speed aerodynamics, equal to or greater than the speed of sound, was irrelevant at the beginning of the aeronautical era, as aircraft could hardly reach supersonic speeds. With advances in the commercial aviation industry, aircraft improved their flight performance, reaching speeds unimaginable to the pioneers who founded the principles of flight. From this point on, analysis and study of the wing profile within an air stream at limit speeds and above these, transonic speeds and supersonic speeds, began. High-speed aerodynamics is a companion volume to the highly successful Aerodynamics, and proposes the study and analysis of all the factors involved in this subject, but applied to speeds higher than traditional ones.
