Résumé

The approach of this book is to demonstrate how theoretical aspects, drawn from topics on airplane aerodynamics, aircraft structures, stability and control, propulsion, and compressible flows, can be applied to produce a new conceptual aircraft design. The book cites theoretical expressions wherever possible, but also stresses the interplay of different aspects of the design which often require compromises. Key topis include the conceptual design of an aircraft; iterative and repetitive calculations, and the different degrees of dependence of the aircraft characteristics on changing input conditions.

Features

Process of the conceptual design of an aircraft -Broken down into 14 steps and covered in Chapters 2 through 13.
Use of a spreadsheet approach is stressed for iterative and repetitive calculations -Sample spreadsheets, in Microsoft Excel, covering each step of the design are provided for each chapter, except 1 and 13.
Detailed description of the spreadsheet structure - At the end of each chapter, allows students to easily make modifications.
Individual problems at the end of each chapter - Designed to utilize the spreadsheet to document different degrees of dependence of the aircraft characteristics on changing input conditions.
