Find the right answer the first time with this useful handbook of preliminary aircraft design. Written by an engineer with close to 20 years of design experience, General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures offers the practicing engineer a versatile handbook that serves as the first source for answers to aircraft design questions. The book is structured in an "equation/derivation/solved example" format for easy access to content. Readers will find it a valuable guide to topics like sizing horizontal and vertical tails to minimize drag; sizing lifting surfaces to ensure proper dynamic stability; numerical performance methods; and common faults and fixes in aircraft design. In most cases, numerical examples involve actual specs. Concepts are depicted by black-and-white figures, photos, and graphs (with full-color images in the eBook). The book is intended for practicing engineers, aerospace engineering students, mathematically astute amateur aircraft designers, and anyone interested in aircraft design.
