In this textbook, the author introduces the concept of unsteady aerodynamics and its underlying principles. He provides the readers with a full review of fundamental physics, the terminology, and basic equations of aerodynamics. The book also covers the modern topics concerning the developments made during thelast years, especially on related to wing flappings for propulsion. The book is written for graduate students in Aerodynamics and it serves as well as a reference for experienced researchers. Each chapter includes ample examples, questions, problems and relevant references.
