    5.0 out of 5 stars Umfassend und verständlich
    Reviewed in Germany on 22 February 2021
    Verified Purchase
    Über die Frage, warum ein Flugzeug fliegt, wird in Fachkreisen viel diskutiert. Auf dem Markt findet man leider noch viel Literatur zu dem Thema, in der an überkommenen und häufig falschen Theorien festgehalten wird. Dieses Buch ist äußerst empfehlenswert. Gut verständlich und dabei ziemlich umfassend.
    Schade, dass es so schwer zu beschaffen ist. Ich habe fünf Wochen darauf gewartet.

    Basico, un buon punto di partenza o un utile mezzo di ripasso. ...per approfondire servono testi di un altro spessore
