Since the education of aeronautical engineers at Delft University
of Technology started in 1940 under tae inspiring leadership of
Professor H.J. van der Maas, much emphasis has been placed on the
design of aircraft as part of the student's curriculum. Not only is
aircraft design an optional subject for thesis work, but every
aeronautical student has to carry out a preliminary airplane design
in the course of his study. The main purpose of this preliminary
design work is to enable the student to synthesize the knowledge ob
tained separately in courses on aerodynamics, aircraft
performances, stability and con trol, aircraft structures, etc. The
student's exercises in preliminary design have been directed
through the years by a number of staff members of the Department of
Aerospace Engineering in Delft. The author of this book, Mr. E.
Torenbeek, has made a large contribution to this part of the study
programme for many years. Not only has he acquired vast experience
in teaching airplane design at university level, but he has also
been deeply involved in design-oriented re search, e.g. developing
rational design methods and systematizing design information. I am
very pleased that this wealth of experience, methods and data is
now presented in this book."
