The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics and controls, are covered first of all. The author then explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasize the integration of individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book, the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall"--; "Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book uses a systems engineering approach to cover the components and the issues affected by design procedures"-- UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9781118352700 ER -
