| Summary |
This text and the accompanying AeroDYNAMIC software are designed for use in teaching basic design methods in an introductory course on aeronautics. Brandt (aeronautics, US Air Force Academy) devotes the first chapter of the text to methods of engineering and aircraft design, then covers basic aeronautical engineering methods used in each step of the design process. Final chapters explain how all of the methods are used in the conceptual aircraft design process and present case studies of the development of three well-known aircraft designs. Previous courses in calculus, classical physics, and engineering mechanics are assumed. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) |
