American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach
Product ID: 344436675
Presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. A virtual encyclopedia of engineering, this book is known for its completeness, easy-to-read style, and real-world approach to the process of design. Review: Very Encompassing Aircraft Design and Engineering textbook - This book is well written, and helps develop a strong foundation for understanding how to design an aircraft, as well as why to follow the methods presented in the text. I purchased this after purchasing and reading Dan's "Simplified Aircraft Design for Homebuilders" book. I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in learning how to design an airplane, however, I suggest that they have a mechanical design and or engineering background, or are in the process of attaining education and or experience in those fields to better understand the methods and math presented in the text. Review: Excelente libro. - Es un libro que le sirve de apoyo a mi esposo para dar clases en la universidad.

Good book to have!!!
Graduated from aerospace, and this book was recommended to me by a graduate student. I read it religiously like a bible!!! It has all the basic flight calculations that you need, and has a really well-written example as well. Great book to have on the shelf and for quick calculation numbers.
