A preliminary-design framework for commercial aircraft

Organized around the early decisions that shape a commercial aircraft concept, this technical text moves from initial sizing and weight estimates through fuselage layout, engine selection, aerodynamic and drag analysis, stability and control, and performance. It also includes economic analysis, placing engineering choices alongside the trade-offs involved in developing an airplane design. The scope makes it a consolidated reference to the interconnected calculations and decisions of preliminary aircraft design, with attention to choosing among competing options.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Aeronautics and astronautics students studying aircraft design
  • Engineers seeking a reference on commercial airplane preliminary design
  • Readers interested in the engineering and economic trade-offs behind aircraft concepts
