Product Description

Review
'It is refreshing to see the publication of a book which describes the many aspects of modern civil jet aircraft design. It is the value of the present book that it emphasises that design in general and aircraft design in particular encompasses much more than performing the required computations. Civil Jet Aircraft Design fully deserves its place among the relatively small number of modern books on aircraft design.'
Aircraft Design


'The scope is comprehensive.......the chapter sequence is logical...the figures are clear and simple and relate wll to the text....should be on the shelf of all aero engineering students.'
The Aeronautical Journal, May 2000

"Written by experts in their fields...highly recommended." Air International.

Product Description
As with all engineering, there is an increasing emphasis on design issues in aeronautical engineering. 'Civil Jet Aircraft Design' is the definitive textbook on this core subject. Written by experts in their field, this book provides a general introduction to aircraft design, while also exploring the underlying procedures and practices in depth. Concentrating on large scale commercial jet aircraft, the book reflects current areas of growth in the aircraft industry. Readers are introduced to the procedures and practices of civil aircraft design at a level suitable for undergraduate students of aeronautical design, and for professionals in industry.

*The contents of this book represents the personal opinion of the authors and does not necessarily reflect that of CAA/NATS.

Available in North and South America from the AIAA, 1801 Alexander Bell Drive, Suite 500, Reston, VA 20191, USA

Covers all aspects of aircraft design and includes chapters on the design process; engine and structure design; aircrapt performances; safety and environmental implications; and parametric studies.
Concentrates on large scale, commercial jet aircraft, reflecting current areas of growth in the aircraft industry.
Contains four detailed case studies, and introduces the reader to spreadsheet methods in the analysis of aircraft.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for aircraft design, 21 Mar 2001
By A Customer
As a final year doing a degree in aerospace engineering, this book has been invaluable. For the design section of the course this book has provided great information going through the design process step by step. I would recomend it to anyone, especially university students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very helpful for acomplete read or just reference, 22 Aug 2007
By J. Moller (Surrey, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Civil Jet Aircraft Design was a book I was introduced to in the second year of my Aeronautical Engineering degree, studying the Conceptual Design module.

The book covers every area of Aircraft design, using for a majority of the content a descriptive style. Unlike a majority of Engineering books, the use of Mathematics seems to be limited to the chapters where it is essential. The structure of the book is logical, with each chapter describing a step in the conceptual design of the aircraft. From choosing planform, cabin layout, considering legal and environmental issues to calculating range... the content of the book is vast.

A lot of data is available, using existing aircraft. This makes it very easy to compare for example what sweep angles are used, the differences between Boeing and Airbus and what would be best if you are designing an aircraft conceptually. The data is also fantastically expanded online. A web address is given in the book, which gives you access to spreadsheets full of content to further research.

For this reason I would say this book is essential for Aeronautical Engineering students, I know mine has had a lot of use.
