Engineering I need Russian sources (Aerodynamic and Flight Mechanics)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a mechanical engineering student seeking recommendations for Russian books on aerodynamics and aircraft design, particularly from authors like Tupolev and Ilyushin. The student has a foundational interest in UAVs and has read "Aircraft Design" by Daniel P. Raymer. A suggestion is made for N.F. Krasnov's two-volume work on Aerodynamics, which covers essential topics such as fluid dynamics, shock wave theory, and aerodynamic characteristics in various flow conditions. The volumes are noted for their comprehensive content, making them valuable resources for someone new to the field. Additionally, a reference to the Landau and Lifshitz series is mentioned, particularly highlighting the fluid dynamics volume as a significant theoretical resource.

Hi guys. I need ur suggestion. Firstly, (I got to say that I'm new about this topic) I'm studying mechanical engineering and It's my first year. I've never learned about fluid mechanics or termodynamic or differantial equations before but I'm dealing with Aircrafts especially UAV. I've read Aircraft design (Daniel P. Raymer) and some other small sources and I've learned a lot. I deal to make model aircraft nowadays. It's okey.
Your suggestion is related with book. I'm looking some Russian Aerodynamic or aircraft design books. Tupolev, Ilyushin etc. Can you suggest a book for me? Thank you. (Just Russian)

Well, I'm not familiar with the engineering literature on fluid dynamics, but for a theoretical physicist the immediate association with "physics textbook" it's Landau and Lifshitz 10-volume "Course of Theoretical Physics", and the fluid dynamics book (vol. 6) is just marvelous (as are all volumes except vol. 4 on QED which is a bit outdated).

Thank you so much brosky :)

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
