DESCRIPTION:
Concepts are visually depicted by a number of useful black-and-white figures, photos, and graphs (with full-color images included in the eBook only). Find the right answer the first time with this useful handbook of preliminary aircraft design. Readers will find it a valuable guide to topics such as sizing of horizontal and vertical tails to minimize drag, sizing of lifting surfaces to ensure proper dynamic stability, numerical performance methods, and common faults and fixes in aircraft design. The book is structured in an "equation/derivation/solved example" format for easy access to content. In most cases, numerical examples involve actual aircraft specs. Broad and deep in coverage, it is intended for practicing engineers, aerospace engineering students, mathematically astute amateur aircraft designers, and anyone interested in aircraft design.Organized by articles and structured in an "equation/derivation/solved example" format for easy access to the content you needNumerical examples involve actual aircraft specsContains high-i
On that note I’d put it in with the aeronautical engineering classics like Perkins and Hage, or Bruhn for aircraft structures. Meyer, Manager, Aircraft Applications Engineering, Hartzell Propeller Inc.. I believe that this book will find wide acceptance among practicing engineers and students." --Brian E. Unlike many modern text books, it really tells the "story" of the subject with lots of current, real-world examples, data, and cautions, along with the mathematical equations that dominate many engineering texts. The illustrations and graphics are also first-rate. "a splendid book…For anyone involved in the design of general aviation (GA) aircraft and those deeply interested in the subject, this book is highly recommended." --The Aeronautical Journal, General Aviation Aircraft Desig

An Excellent Text on Aircraft Design Sarah A This is a very complete book on the subject of Aircraft Design. I find it to be a very good reference with lots of details, better than digging through the various texts I have from my college days. I am currently working through major revisions to an existing aircraft de. Amazon Customer said Five Stars. 100% as referenced!. Nice compilation of current aircraft design data Burton M. Knapp This is a fantastic compilation of current information on pretty much all aspects of light aircraft design - including cost modeling and the Eastlake cost model - both very hard to find in conventional sources for airplane design. I may write another review after more tim
