Interactive aerospace engineering

• With a growing trend toward inclusion of design in engineering courses, Newman's book includes a hands on comprehensive design project for students, as well as topical coverage of design issues where appropriate. The book facilitates active learning in the classroom.
• The book is packaged with a CDROM (PC & Mac compatible) containing a web-based format of active animations, simulations, and QuickTime movies. The combination of the book and CD provide a highly motivational approach for professors and students. The entire text is also included on the CD in the form of pdf pages.
• While many books lack in coverage of space applications, Newman's book provides the best balance of conceptual foundations, aircraft, and aerospace.
• Book will also include an accompanying Book Website: www.mhhe.com/engcs/aero/newman/
