Product Description

This textbook presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition through initial sizing, congfiguration layout, analysis, sizing and trade studies - in the same manner seen in industry aircraft design groups. Interesting and easy to read, it contains more than 900 pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data essential to design. For the third edition, Daniel Raymer has updated his book to reflect advances in technologies such as hypersonics, stealth and STOVL, and design methods including concurrent engineering, cost as an independent variable, and the impact of the factory of the future. With his usual easy-to-read style, he has expanded his treatments of such key areas as jet engine installation, CFD, trim analysis, CAD/CAM, propeller thrust analysis, weights estimation, cost analysis and multivariable optimization. Raymer has added, by popular demand, a step-by-step description of how a typical design is developed (with illustrations), and also describes the technical concepts behind some unusual design approaches such as tailless, canard-pusher, no-lateral-symmetry (Rutan Boomerang), wing-in-ground effect, and the hypersonic waverider. Along with the addition of metric data and equations, more than 30 new illustrations and homework examples have been added.

3.0 out of 5 stars Adequate - but not startling, 18 May 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach and Rds-Student: Software for Aircraft Design, Sizing, and Performance Set (AIAA Education) (AIAA Education Series) (Hardcover)

Rayner tries to cover in one largish volume what others such as Roskam take 8 to do. Presentation is better than Roskam and as a student book on how statistical aircraft design really can be its not that bad.

But value for money it most definetly is not. Try to find it second hand or join AIAA and get it cheaper.

Alternatively even more lose as a design book you may want to try Stinton

4.0 out of 5 stars Good, but for the American units, 28 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Raymer provides a comprehensive guide to the initial aircraft design process of particular interest to students studying the subject. Being an American book, however, units and all equations in the book are presented in American units, not metric units, and conversion is required whenever these are used, which can be frustrating for students elsewhere in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference for conceptual design, 10 Nov 2001

By A Customer

The book takes you step by step through the conceptual design of the aircraft, providing two examples, one of a lightweight aerobatic piston engine aircraft, and the other of a jet fighter.

For those of you studying aerospace or aeronautical engineering, this will be of great help with any designs you have to complete, and for those in industry, is a great reference text, and very easy to read, with great explanations.
