Another good one (which is the one I use) is "Interceptor" by James Goulding, which is a pretty comprehensive rundown of the RAF single seat fighter; everything from the DH2 to the EAP is included, with some decent 3-views for most of them. Some nice exotica, including a number of the F5/34 projects (which spawned the Hurricane), the Gloster submission is very pretty, almost like a monoplane Gladiator.Filonian wrote:Spot on Andy.
I have been having a look through "The Complete Book of Fighters" by
William Green & Gordon Swanborough - very interesting facts, & pictures etc.
Claims to be an ensyclo -encicl, oh B****r it -book of every fighter built & flown. Published 1977.

Think you're right, as did the P-51, although I have a feeling that in reality so called 'laminar flow' aerofoils do experience a fair degree of turbulent flow. In general the wing has a lower t/c ratio, with the thickest point closer to 50% than 25% chord and a sharper LE.petermcleland wrote:I believe it had something called a "Laminar Flow Wing"...
Yes - there was a rush to adopt the so-called laminar-flow wings in the mid-1940s, followed a couple of years later by their near-abandonment.TobyV wrote:Think you're right, as did the P-51, although I have a feeling that in reality so called 'laminar flow' aerofoils do experience a fair degree of turbulent flow.
