Aerodynamics is a science engaged in the investigation of the motion of air and other gases and
their interaction with bodies and is one of the most important bases of the aeronautic and
astronautic techniques. The continuous improvement of the configurations of the airplanes and
the space vehicles aid the constant enhancement of their performances are closely related with
the development of the aerodynamics. In the design of new flying vehicles the aerodynamics will
play more and more important role. The undertakings of aeronautics and astronautics in our
country have gained achievements of world interest the aerodynamics community has made
outstanding contributions for the development of these undertakings and the science of
aerodynamics. To promote further the development of the aerodynamics meet the challenge in the
new century summary the experience cultivate the professional personnel and to serve better
the cause of aeronautics and astronautics and the national economy the present Series of
Modern Aerodynamics is organized and published.
