Description

Find the right answer the first time with this useful handbook of preliminary aircraft design. Written by an engineer with just about 20 years of design experience, General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures provides the practicing engineer with a versatile handbook that serves as the first source for finding answers to realistic aircraft design questions. The book is structured in an “equation/derivation/solved example” format for simple get entry to to content. 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 make sure proper dynamic stability, numerical performance methods, and common faults and fixes in aircraft design. Typically, numerical examples involve actual aircraft specs. Concepts are visually depicted by various useful black-and-white figures, photos, and graphs (with full-color images included in the eBook only). Broad and deep in coverage, it is intended for practicing engineers, aerospace engineering students, mathematically astute amateur aircraft designers, and any individual interested in aircraft design.
