Books on flying wings
Hi there,
I'm looking for good books on flying wings, theory, examples, pros and cons .. I ve bought "Tailess tale", but was a bit disappointing in fact. Any good ideas or links ? Thanks a lot ! |

'Tailless Aircraft in Theory and Practice'
written by Karl Nickel and Michael Wohlfhart Translated by Capt. Eric Brown RN (into English) pub.by Edward Arnold ISBN 0-340-61402-1 Good book, lots of detail (500 pages). includes full size and models, modern and old- the lot basically including technical stuff, control systems etc etc. Having done a quick search for it I'm amazed at the prices posted, way more than I paid for it new. Perhaps you can find it second hand. |

For months, I browsed the German forums with Google Translator at my side. It was more than a little frustrating. Being able to read German will open a few more doors for you, not that I will be able offer any useful leads besides the Nurflügel forums in DE. Kent |
