Description
The Dorsai Companion Gordon R. Dickson. The Dorsai Companion by Gordon R. Dickson is a science fiction novel published by Penguin Publishing Group in 1986. It offers a rigorous and classroom-tested treatment of classical aerodynamic theory, making it indispensable for aeronautical engineers and the foundation of current and future research. The book fully acknowledges the important role of high-speed computers in aerodynamics and provides a comprehensive coverage of topics such as fluid mechanics, wing theory, and supersonic flow. With a focus on graduate-level material, this novel also offers working engineers a valuable reference to the results of modern aerodynamic research and new analytical tools.
