A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design processusing the principles of systems engineering
Due to the high cost and the risks associated with development,complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for theadoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presentsthe entire process of aircraft design based on a systemsengineering approach from conceptual design phase, through topreliminary design phase and to detail design phase.
Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraftdesign, this book covers the components and the issues affected bydesign procedures. The basic topics that are essential to theprocess, such as aerodynamics, flight stability andcontrol, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewedin various chapters where required. Based on thesefundamentals and design requirements, the author explains thedesign process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration ofthe individual components into the overall design. Throughout thebook the various design options are considered and weighed againsteach other, to give readers a practical understanding of theprocess overall.
Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts ofaerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics willfind this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in theirunderstanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety ofdesign techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom andflexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approachingreal-world projects.
Key features:
* Providesfull coverage of the design aspects of an air vehicle including:aeronautical concepts, design techniques and design flowcharts
* Featuresend of chapter problems to reinforce the learning process as wellas fully solved design examples at component level
* Includes fundamental explanations for aeronautical engineeringstudents and practicing engineers
* Features a solutions manual to sample questions on the book'scompanion website
