Ww1 Aircraft Performance: DESIGN, AERODYNAMICS AND FLIGHT PERFORMANCE FOR THE AL

Description: Ww1 Aircraft Performance by Anders F. Jonsson Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This is the first book to comprehensively cover WW1 fighter aircraft focusing on their relative flight performance utilizing modern computer simulations and if you want to get a better understanding of how they compared to each other, then this is the book for you. Based on the simulation results, a number of myths surrounding the modeled aircraft can be put to rest and in addition, they reveal some unexpected results that go against the grain of what has become generally accepted facts about these airplanes. While anecdotal evidence runs the risk of misremembering and embellishments, hard numbers based on computer simulations are more neutral and allow a more complete picture of these aircraft to emerge revealing their true strengths and weaknesses. Another first is the detailed analysis of how the aircraft compare in terms of acceleration, dive, and sustained and instantaneous turn performance done to a level previously not attempted in a book. The aircraft covered in this book are the Albatros D.Va, Fokker Dr.I, Fokker D.VIIF, Fokker E.V, Fokker D.VIII, Nieuport 28.C1, Pfalz D.III, Pfalz D.IIIa, Pfalz D.VIII, Siemens Schukert D.IV, Sopwith Camel, Sopwith Triplane, S.E.5a and SPAD XIII. As a background to the analysis of the results and the rationale for how the aircraft were modeled, the book also contains a brief summary of the state of the art in aerodynamics and aircraft design at the time. Authors website: / Author Biography While modern sources and books have been used as well, this book draws heavily on studies of original drawings and analysis of historical reference material from the time period such as National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) reports, Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) Reports and Memoranda (R&M), British Air Board data from 1917 such as Performance Charts of Aeroplanes, Seaplanes & Ship Aeroplanes, Royal Society lectures, technische Berichte der Flugzeugmeisterei (TB), Bau- und Liefervorschriften der Inspektion der Fliegertruppen (BLV) design rules, Inspektion der Fliegertruppen (Idflieg) documents and letters and so-called Baubeschribungs. In addition, articles from contemporary magazines and periodicals such as Zeitschrift fr Flugtechnik und Motorluftschiffahrt (ZFM), Der Motorwagen, Flight magazine, Flugsport and books from the time period such as Frederick Lanchesters Aerodynamics, Aloys van Gries Flugzeugstatik and Gustave Eiffels The Resistance of the Air and Aviation have also provided useful information. Added to this are results and data from the Modellversuchsanstalt fr Aerodynamik (Gttingen), NACA, Eiffel and Junkers wind tunnels have also been used in the analysis. In addition, MIT Professor Mark Drelas simulation program Xfoil has also been used to generate data for comparison of a number of different WW1 era wing profiles at varying Reynolds numbers. In addition to anecdotal data from the time period, the chapters detailing handling characteristics build on interviews and essays from pilots of modern replicas such as Mikael Carlson and Javier Arango. The simulations results that form the core of this book have all been generated by a comprehensive C++ simulation program (circa 6000 lines of code) derived from the authors masters thesis in aerodynamics and flight mechanics. The book also contains a description of this simulation model and how the aircraft models used were tuned and in addition, also describes how the validation of the simulation model was done.
