Cambridge is home to 18,000 students, 1,500 academics - and one serial killer. The discovery of the headless, mutilated body of a female undergraduate in her bloodsoaked college room heralds the start of a series of bizarre and extremely violent murders. For the students of Ariel College, a siege mentality has developed following weeks of media interest in the 'Cambridge Butcher'. University life has become not about surviving their exams, but surviving full stop. Forensic psychiatrist Matthew Denison is sure that his traumatised patient, student Olivia Coscadden, has the killer's identity locked up in her memory. That within the little clique she belonged to lurks someone with a grudge. Someone who has yet to finish settling their score. In order to get to the truth, Denison must delve into the secrets hidden within Olivia's subconscious. Secrets that are about to lead him into a nightmare beyond imagining.

Two similar tapered sweptback plan forms with the same two spanwise variations of twist have been tested in the Mach number range from 0.8 to 2.0. The test results showed, in general, rather good agreement with theoretical predictions of the incremental span loadings due to twist for zero angle of attack. The measured incremental span loadings due to twist generally diminished with increasing angle of attack through the Mach number range. At a Mach number of 0.9, the incremental loadings progressively vanished from the tip inboard with increasing angle of attack. For the highest angles of attack (about 20 degrees) at Mach number 0.9, there was no difference in the span loadings of the flat and twisted wings. At a higher supersonic speeds, a similar vanishing at the tips of the incremental loading due to twist was starting at the highest angles of attack (near 20 degrees).

Originator of many of the theories used in modern wing design, Robert T. Jones surveys the aerodynamics of wings from the early theories of lift to modern theoretical developments. This work covers the behavior of wings at both low and high speeds, including the range from very low Reynolds numbers to the determination of minimum drag at supersonic speed. Emphasizing analytical techniques, Wing Theory provides invaluable physical principles and insights for advanced students, professors, and aeronautical engineers, as well as for scientists involved in computational approaches to the subject. This book is based on over forty years of theoretical and practical work performed by the author and other leading researchers in the field of aerodynamics. Originally published in 1990. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

The advancement of flight science and technology has shown much boom contribution towards the aircraft wing and its retrofitting. Looking into the aircraft wing variants,they have a huge range of configurations with their individualities by commercial and military usage. This book concentrates on aircraft wings with an elaborated wing introduction and is primarily concerned with aircraft wing performance. It complements other books in the market by concentrating only on aircraft wings and their functionalities.The main objective of this book is to reach the beginning graduate-level students by providing them with the basic concept behind the aircraft wing. The expected audience of the book would ideally be the high school and undergraduate students, who have much ingenuity towards aircraft wings and their concepts.
