Aircraft Design explores fixed winged aircraft design at the
conceptual phase of a project. Designing an aircraft is a complex
multifaceted process embracing many technical challenges in a
multidisciplinary environment. By definition, the topic requires
intelligent use of aerodynamic knowledge to configure aircraft
geometry suited specifically to the customer s demands. It involves
estimating aircraft weight and drag and computing the available
thrust from the engine. The methodology shown here includes formal
sizing of the aircraft, engine matching, and substantiating
performance to comply with the customer s demands and government
regulatory standards. Associated topics include safety issues,
environmental issues, material choice, structural layout,
understanding flight deck, avionics, and systems (for both civilian
and military aircraft). Cost estimation and manufacturing
considerations are also discussed. The chapters are arranged to
optimize understanding of industrial approaches to aircraft design
methodology. Example exercises from the author s industrial
experience dealing with a typical aircraft design are included."
