The fifth edition of Model Aircraft Aerodynamics is fully revised and in full color, with significant information on model aircraft developments in recent years. Author and aircraft expert Martin Simons provides everything you need to know about model aircraft aerodynamics in a comprehensive and concise manner. Aircraft enthusiasts will find chapters on fundamentals, basic model performance problems, trim and stability, controls, and more.
The fifth edition features the following additions:
- An extended chapter on aerofoils, including information on recent tests carried out in the US at the University of Illinois.
- A new chapter focused on the latest research surrounding the flight of birds and insects, which is now being applied to small drones and miniature surveillance aircraft.
- Older wind tunnel test reports have been replaced with the latest trials and measurements.
Martin Simons' interest in aviation goes back more than seventy years. Prior to his passing in 2024, he remained actively involved in designing, building, and flying model aircraft and full-scale sailplanes. Born in England in 1930, he was a teacher and became a lecturer in education in London University. Until his death, he lived in Australia, where for twenty-five years, he was a senior lecturer in education at the University of Adelaide. He has published numerous articles and several books on full-sized sailplanes and model flying and was the editor of Gliding Australia magazine for ten years. In 2006, he was awarded the Gehriger Diploma by the Federation Aeronautique Internationale.
