Aircraft Design [PDF ebook] 
A Systems Engineering Approach

A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design process
using the principles of systems engineering
Due to the high cost and the risks associated with development,
complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for the
adoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presents
the entire process of aircraft design based on a systems
engineering approach from conceptual design phase, through to
preliminary design phase and to detail design phase.
Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft
design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by
design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the
process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and
control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed
in various chapters where required. Based on these
fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the
design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of
the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the
book the various design options are considered and weighed against
each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the
process overall.
Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of
aerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics will
find this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in their
understanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety of
design techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom and
flexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approaching
real-world projects.
