(from the back cover)
This book, written by an internationally recognized teacher and researcher in the field, provides a thorough, modern treatment of the aerodynamic preinciples of helicopters and other rotating-wing vertical lift aircraft. Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers and researchers. This up-to-date work includes:

• a unique technical history of helicopter flight
• a discussion of the basic methods of rotor aerodynamic analysis and issues associated with helicopter performance and design
• an in-depth examination of advanced topics in helicopter aerodynamics, including airfoils, unsteady aerodynamics, dynamic stall, and rotor wakes.

J. Gordon Leishman, Professor of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Maryland, is a former aerodynamicist at Westland Helicopters and has written extensively on topics in helicopter aerodynamics.
