Abstract:
The authors address comprehensively the conceptual design phase of aircraft for civil and military aircraft, from initial consideration of user needs, material selection, and structural arrangement to the decision to iterate the design one more time. The book includes designing for survivability, (stealth), solar and human power aircraft systems, very high altitude operation with air breathing propulsion.
This book is revision and expansion of the 1975 classic aircraft design textbook that has been used worldwide for more than 30 years by students and practising engineers.
