Hankey addresses the kinetic theory of gases and the prediction of vehicle trajectories during re-entry, including a description of the Earth's atmosphere. He discusses the fundamentals of hypersonic aerodynamics as they are used in estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of re-entry configurations, re-entry heat transfer for both lifting (space shuttle) and ballistic (Apollo) configurations, thermal protection systems, and the application of high-temperature materials in design.

To stay on the forefront of aerospace design, you need state-of-the-art knowledge on the computational power now in use. Applied Computational Aerodynamics goes beyond the theories to focus on real world applications. 
Richly illustrated chapters feature geometric types of problems ranging from the classic airfoil problem to the complexity of complete aircraft such as the 737, 7J7, the F-16, and the Space Shuttle launch configuration. Plus, applications for components are also detailed, including wings, high-lift systems, propulsion system components, and rotors. 
Featuring a complete overview of all of the latest design developments and studies, with hundreds of illustrations (more than 60 in full color) spanning more than 900 pages, this is truly an impressive resource.
