- Aerodynamics for Students
http://www.ae.su.oz.au/aero/aerodyn.html
A web textbook from the University of Sydney that covers undergraduate-level aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, aircraft performance and propulsion. Investigates the significance of pressure distribution on an aerodynamic body and the estimation of lift, drag and pitching moment of an aerofoil from the pressure around it in flight.
- Highly Nonplanar Lifting Systems by Kroo, McMasters and Smith
http://aero.stanford.edu/reports/nonplanarwings/nonplanarwings.html
A paper by Ilan Kroo (Stanford University), John McMasters (Boeing Commercial Airplane Group) and Stephen C. Smith (NASA Ames Research Center) that deals with nonplanar wing concepts (e.g. biplanes, triplanes, box planes, ring wings, lifting struts, joined wings, crescent wings, split-tips, and others) -- their advantages and possible application in a variety of aircraft designs.
- NACA Technical Report Server
http://naca.larc.nasa.gov/
Searchable index of over 6,000 Research Reports, Technical Manuals, and Technical Notes produced by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA) between 1917 and 1958. Papers available as single-page GIF files or as complete-report PDF files.
