Download or read book Design of Aircraft written by Thomas C. Corke and published by Pearson. This book was released on 2003 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For senior-level Aerospace Engineering students dealing with the conceptual design of aircraft. 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.
