Commercial Airplane Design Principles is a succinct, focused text covering all the information required at the preliminary stage of aircraft design: initial sizing and weight estimation, fuselage design, engine selection, aerodynamic analysis, stability and control, drag estimation, performance analysis, and economic analysis. The text places emphasis on making informed choices from an array of competing options, and developing the confidence to do so. Shows the use of standard, empirical, and classical methods in support of the design process Explains the preparation of a professional quality design reportProvides a sample outline of a design report INDICE: Market Survey and Mission SpecificationPreliminary Weight EstimationFuselage DesignEngine SelectionWing DesignTail DesignLanding Gear DesignRefined Weight and Balance EstimateDrag EstimationAircraft PerformanceAircraft Pricing and Economics Appendix A: Airfoil Characteristics Appendix B: Atmospheric Properties Appendix C: Airfoil and Wing Theory and Analysis Appendix D: Critical Mach Number Curves Appendix E: Units and Conversion Factors Appendix F: General Database for Commercial Aircraft
