Fixed and Flapping Wing Aerodynamics for Micro Air Vehicle Applications
ISBN: 9781563475177 / Angielski / Twarda / 650 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Since it is not possible to meet all of the design requirements of a micro air vehicle with current technology, research is proceeding. This new book reports on the latest research in the area...
