(The aerodynamics of aircraft at high angles of attack is ...)
The aerodynamics of aircraft at high angles of attack is a subject which is being pursued diligently, because the modern agile fighter aircraft and many of the current generation of missiles must perform well at very high incidence, near and beyond stall. However, a comprehensive presentation of the methods and results applicable to the studies of the complex aerodynamics at high angle of attack has not been covered in monographs or textbooks. This book is not the usual textbook in that it goes beyond just presenting the basic theoretical and experimental know-how, since it contains reference material to practical calculation methods and technical and experimental results which can be useful to the practicing aerospace engineers and scientists. It can certainly be used as a text and reference book for graduate courses on subjects related to high angles of attack aerodynamics and for topics related to three-dimensional separation in viscous flow courses. In addition, the book is addressed to the aerodynamicist interested in a comprehensive reference to methods of analysis and computations of high angle of attack flow phenomena and is written for the aerospace scientist and engineer who is familiar with the basic concepts of viscous and inviscid flows and with computational methods used in fluid dynamics.

Rom, Josef was born on September 2, 1932 in Warsaw, Poland. Son of David and Mina (Kovensky) Rabinowicz. arrived in Israel, 1935.
Bachelor of Science, Illinois Institute of Technology, 1953. Mediterranean Shipping Company, California Institute of Technology, 1954. Doctor of Philosophy, California Institute of Technology, 1957.
Born in Warsaw in Poland in 1932, Rom made aliyah to Mandatory Palestine in 1935. He worked as a research associate at Caltech between 1957 and 1958, before returning to Israel to become a lecturer at the Technion. In the same year he joined Herut, and chaired its Haifa branch between 1976 and 1977.
He also chaired the party"s Young Guard movement from 1977 until 1981.
He was elected to the Knesset on the Likud list (an alliance of Herut and other right-of-centre parties) in the 1977 elections, and was re-elected in 1981. However, he lost his seat in the 1984 elections.
Rom was married to Yael Rom, one of the first female pilots of the Israeli Air Force. He died in 1997 at the age of 65.
