Fundamentals of Aircraft Design"The main theme of the text is that the aircraft design process is a compromise of all the engineering disciplines. An effective design is the integration of aerodynamics, propulsion, flight control, structures and materials, avionics and subsystems; blended in just the right way to give a synergistic effect."--Page iii. |
