Hands On Small Aircraft Design Guide: Practical Methods And Procedures For Early Stage Airframe, Aerodynamics, Systems, And Performance, Built For Real World Builders And Pros Pursuing Fast, Reliable Flyable Concepts
UPC:
✔️ Sizing lifting surfaces, tails, stability, and practical case studies
This practical reference book serves as a comprehensive handbook for preliminary aircraft design, built for practicing engineers, aerospace engineering students, and dedicated hobbyists. It uses an equation/derivation/solved example format, with numerical scenarios drawn from real aircraft specs. Topics include tail sizing to minimize drag, lifting-surface sizing for dynamic stability, numerical performance methods, and safety-oriented design checklists. Three case studies illustrate applications to business jets and general aviation.
