Aerodynamics for Engineering Students, Eight Edition provides concise explanations of basic concepts combined with an excellent introduction to aerodynamic theory. This updated edition has been revised with improved pedagogy and reorganized content to facilitate student learning. The book includes new examples in many chapters, expanded use of the "aerodynamics around us" boxes to help put the content into proper context for students, and more coverage and use of computational methods like MATLAB.

• Provides contemporary applications and examples that help students see the link between everyday physical examples of aerodynamics and the application of aerodynamic principles to aerodynamic design
• Contains MATLAB-based computational exercises throughout, giving students practice in using industry-standard computational tools
• Includes examples in SI and Imperial units, reflecting the fact that the aerospace industry uses both systems of units
• Includes improved pedagogy, such as more worked examples throughout, a reorganization of content, and further integration of MATLAB
