Formally published for the first time, Professor Sears's classic work reflects many years of continual evolution as a course study guide at the Graduate School of Aeronautical Engineering at Cornell University, with updates prepared by his former students to enhance ease of use by today's students. Instructors will find this a superb textbook for a first course in ideal aerodynamics and/or hydrodynamics. Readers will find fundamental concepts directly connected to practical applications in the numerous step-by-step examples found throughout the book.
