Simple Science of Flight Tennekes Henk Emeritus Professor of Aeronautical Engineering
An investigation into how machines and living creatures fly, and of the similarities between butterflies and Boeings, paper airplanes and plovers.From the smallest gnat to the largest aircraft, all things that fly obey the same aerodynamic principles. Fascinated by the similarities between nature and technology, Tennekes offers an introduction to flight that teaches by association. In The Simple Science of Flight, Henk Tennekes investigates just how machines and creatures fly: what size wings they need, how much energy is required for their journeys, how they cross deserts and oceans, how they take off, climb, and soar.
Biological evolution and its technical counterpart exhibit exciting parallels. Swans and Boeings differ in numerous ways, but they follow the same aerodynamic principles. What makes some airplanes successful and others misfits?
Why does the Boeing
