Provides comprehensive coverage of how supersonic commercial
aircraft are designed This must-have guide to conceptual supersonic
aircraft design provides a state-of-the art overview of the
subject, along with expert analysis and discussion. It examines the
challenges of high-speed flight, covers aerodynamic phenomena in
supersonic flow and aerodynamic drag in cruising flight, and
discusses the advantages and disadvantages of oblique wing
aircraft. Essentials of Supersonic Commercial Aircraft Conceptual
Design is intended for members of a team producing an initial
design concept of an airliner with the capability of making
supersonic cruising flights. It begins with a synopsis of the
history of supersonic transport aircraft development and continues
with a chapter on the challenges of high-speed flight, which
discusses everything from top level requirements and cruise speed
requirements to fuel efficiency and cruise altitude. It then covers
weight sensitivity; aerodynamic phenomena in supersonic flow; thin
wings in two-dimensional flow; flat wings in inviscid supersonic
flow; aerodynamic drag in cruising flight, and aerodynamic
efficiency of SCV configurations. The book finishes with a chapter
that examines oblique wing aircraft. Provides supersonic aircraft
designers with everything they need to know about developing
current and future high speed commercial jet planes Examines the
many challenges of high-speed flight Covers aerodynamic phenomena
in supersonic flow and aerodynamic drag in cruising flight
Discusses the advantages and disadvantages of oblique wing aircraft
Essentials of Supersonic Commercial Aircraft Conceptual Design is
an ideal book for researchers and practitioners in the aerospace
industry, as well as for graduate students in aerospace
engineering.
