Review
'This is an excellent book and should find a place on the shelf of any student or practising engineer involved in aircraft structural analysis. I can recommend it to the aeronautical community without reservation' The Aeronautical Journal, October 2001 (Prof. A.J. Morris) "As an introduction to the problems encountered in the structural design of modern aircraft, Megson's book can be recommended to both students and those engaged in structural analysis aerospace design offices." Aerospace. (Of the second edition.)

Book Description
This is the 3rd Edition of what has, become since its original publication in 1972, the "bible" for aircraft structures. It provides a comprehensive, self-contained course in aircraft structures. Starting with the structural mechanics of aircraft, this book goes on to elasticity, aeroelasticity and airworthiness. Although much of the material is timeless, the author has updated throughout including new material on areas that have developed since 1990.

effective
2 July 2000
Format:Paperback
This useful book gives a strong theoretical basis on structural analysis.In fact the maths involved is advanced but clearly explained, so that it is quite easy to follow the theory presentation. Worked examples, as well as line illustrations, are very helpful, efficaciuosly completing the expositions. In the end ,a quite comprehensive textbook.

Fit For Purpose
20 Nov 2005
Format:Paperback
This is what the title says - for engineering students. It is not really useful for the practicing aircraft structural analyst. The mathematics presented is considerably more involved than is presented in most other airframe analysis texts, with empahsis on how stress formulae are derived. A bit over the top if all you want is to know how to analyse a practical problem, but ideal for the student who needs to know the foundations of analysis. A little bit annoying how equations are quoted by number, forcing the reader to continuously return to previous chapters.

Bad examples, NOT clear
18 Oct 2002
Format:Paperback
The examples are not clear. They only show numbers with no units and do not even explain where the numbers came from. I am a student so I had to buy this book. I would not recomend buying this book unless you absolutly have to. I have seen alot of engineering books and this one is truely one of the worst.
