Fundamentals of Aerodynamics, Sixth Edition by John D. Anderson, Jr. is a comprehensive textbook covering the fundamental principles, physical concepts, and mathematical foundations of aerodynamics.
The book is designed for students of aerospace and aeronautical engineering and provides a structured treatment of both incompressible and compressible flows. It covers fundamental governing equations, airfoil and finite-wing aerodynamics, shock and expansion waves, nozzles and diffusers, supersonic and hypersonic flow, and an introduction to viscous flow.
The sixth edition also includes learning objectives and Integrated Work Challenges, helping students connect concepts across individual chapters and apply aerodynamic principles to larger problems.
