General Aviation Aircraft Design - Applied Methods and Procedures

Összefoglaló

Features: The printed book is now in color, with 1011 figures and illustrations. Presents the most common methods for conceptual aircraft design. Clear presentation splits text into shaded regions, separating engineering topics from mathematical derivations and examples. Design topics range from the "new" 14 CFR Part 23 to analysis of ducted fans. All chapters feature updated material with additional analysis methods. Many chapters have been reorganized for further help. Introduction to design optimization is provided using a wing optimization as an example for the beginner. Three new chapters are offered, two of which focus on stability and control. These offer multiple practical methods to simplify the estimation of stability derivatives. The chapters introduce hinge moments and basic control system design. Real-world examples using aircraft such as the Cirrus SR-22 and Learjet 45
