The new wind tunnel work that Michael Selig and his graduate students have completed at the University of Illinois is now on paper and is available. This work is titled "Summary of Low-Speed Airfoil Data - Volume 1". It's volume one because of the continuing nature of the airfoil wind-tunnel program at UIUC. There will soon be a volume two based on the the second period of testing. This has now been completed and the results are being prepared for publication.
"Summary ......." is 317 pages of narrative and data much like Michael's previous work "Airfoils at Low Speeds" (SoarTech #8). There is more narrative, and the book is organized differently, but it is obvious from reading through it, that it is the next installment of the same basic material. We've set the price at $25 in the USA - which includes postage. All of the actual tabulated data and airfoil coordinates (but none of the narrative or illustrations) in the book is available on-disk in ascii text files. The price for the disk data in the USA is $15 including postage. When ordering the book from outside the USA, add $4 to the book price for international surface mail. For Air Mail to the Western Hemisphere add $6. For Air Mail to Europe add $13, and for other parts of the world add $17. For disk orders from outside of the USA add one dollar to it's price - all separate disk orders will be sent by first class airmail.
A significant portion of the price received from all book and disk sales will be returned to UIUC to provide part of the continuing support for Michael's ongoing test program.
The book is available and may be ordered now. SoarTech isn't big enough to handle credit card orders, but you can question me directly by email (SoarTec@aol.com) or send regular mail to SoarTech Aero Publications, 1504 N. Horseshoe Cir., Virginia Beach VA 23451.
When ordering, PLEASE provide a check or money order in US Dollars which can be paid at a US bank. U.S. cash is also accepted. Residents of Virginia should add the state 4-1/2 percent sales tax to the above rates. Sorry but he can't take credit card or COD orders at this time.
