Mechloyer420,

The "best" aero books I have used for airplanes are: Fluid-Dynamic Lift" by Hoerner and Borst, and "Fluid-dynamic drag" by Hoerner. The last phone and address (1996) was: P.O. Box 65283 Vancouver, WA 98665 Phone 360 576-3997

I agree, though the Hoerner books may not be the best for an intitial introduction. They are absolutely necessary for follow-up study.

John D. Anderson's "Introduction to Flight" is a well written book with good explanations of the theory and equations you'll need. It also has a selection of airfoil Cd, Cl, Cm plots that are handy to have.
