Summary

The aim of axiomatic aerodynamic modelling is introduced, namely to understand the validity of aerodynamic modelling in the context of aircraft dynamics with particular emphasis on understanding the relationship between full-scale flight behaviour as compared with that predicted from data based on wind tunnel tests.

Type
