After a couple of years of Jack holding the check I wrote him at Oshkosh, I received his book a couple of months ago. I had meant to write in here and tell everyone how great it is, but somehow it slipped through the cracks.
So, I would like to tell you that this is a wonderful book. It is only a bit mathematical, but gets the idea of how a propeller actually works across better than anything I have read. It is written in a unique style that has the reader imagining he is sitting in the classroom, listening to a charismatic professor tell all. The math that resulted from Jack's investigations helped Paul Lipps design his props, and also produced the Whirlwind RV200 prop.
Also included is another whole book (when you flip it over) called The Logic of Flight. Here Jack tells you how to fly your airplane efficiently.
Jack was the Technical Director for the Voyager 'round the world flight and a lifelong PhD aero engineer, and you can learn a lot from this book.
It is self-published, so send Jack Norris $14.95 plus 2 or 3 bucks for shipping...
