Nickel and Wohlfahrt are mathematicians at the University of Freiburg in Germany who have steeped themselves in aerodynamic theory and practice, creating this definitive work explaining the mysteries of tailless aircraft flight.  For many years, Nickel was a close associate of the Horten brothers, renowned for their revolutionary tailles designs.  The text has been translated from the German Schwanzlose Flugzeuge 
(1990, Birkhauser Verlag, Basel) by test pilot Captain Eric M. Brown, RN.  Alive with enthusiasm and academic precision, this book will appeal to both amateurs and professional aerodynamicists. 

Contents:  Introduction; Aerodynamic Basic Principles; Stability; Control; Flight Characteristics; Design of Sweptback Flying Wings - Optimization, Funda- mentals, and Special Problems; Hanggliders; Flying Models; Fables, Misjudge- ments and Prejudices, Fairy Tales and Myths, and; Discussion of Representative Tailless Aircraft.
