The book presents a detailed look at high-lift aerodynamics, which deals with the aerodynamic behavior of lift augmentation means, from various approaches. After an introductory chapter, the book discusses the physical limits of lift generation giving the lift generation potential. It then explains what is needed for an aircraft to fly safely by analyzing the high-lift-related requirements for certifying an aircraft. The needs of an aircraft are also analyzed to improve its performance during take-off, approach, and landing. Describing methods that are used to evaluate and design high-lift systems in an aerodynamic sense, the book also briefly covers numerical, as well as experimental, simulation methods. It also includes a special chapter that is dedicated to the aerodynamic design of high-lift systems. The book is intended for graduate students in aerospace programs studying advanced aerodynamics and aircraft design. It also serves as a professional reference for practicing aerospace and mechanical engineers who are working on aircraft design issues related to take-off and landing.
