Hi folks. I am planning some larger own designs, and want to get a bit more in depth with various aerofoil sections for different types of aircraft. This book seems to tick the boxes for what I am looking for and am just wondering if anybody has had a look. I have 'Model Aircraft Aerodynamics' which I find really useful in understanding the principles and am looking for something to help translate it all into practice.

Just to confuse the issue the designs that I have in mind are a part composite pod and boom full house e-soarer and a couple of (probably) overweight warbirds. I know - Poles apart!

Many thanks, Simon
