PDF-(BOOK)-Fundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design (AIAA Education Series)

The aircraft is only a transport mechanism for the payload and all design decisions must consider payload first Simply stated the aircraft is a dust cover Fundamentals of Aircraft and Airship Design Volume 1 Aircraft Design emphasizes that the science and art of the aircraft design process is a compromise and that there is no right answer however there is always a best answer based on existing requirements and available technologies. American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. (AIAA). https://www.aiaa.org/. 2. Aerospace Engineering. What Is Aerospace Engineering?. Aerospace engineering is the branch of . engineering. focused on the design, construction, and testing of . \"Although the overall appearance of modern airliners has not changed a lot since the introduction of jetliners in the 1950s, their safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have improved considerably. Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, advanced materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is not yet widespread.Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal  features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered. The quasi-analytical approach enables designers to compare the results of high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods which need far less computational effort. Another advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers to “what if” questions rapidly and with little computational cost.Key features:
Presents a new fundamental vision on conceptual airplane design optimization
Provides an overview of advanced technologies for propulsion and reducing aerodynamic drag
Offers insight into the derivation of design sensitivity information
Emphasizes design based on first principles
Considers pros and cons  of innovative configurations
Reconsiders optimum cruise performance at transonic Mach numbers
Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes advances understanding of the initial optimization of civil airplanes and is a must-have reference for aerospace engineering students, applied researchers, aircraft design engineers and analysts.\" Examines a modern conceptual design of both airships and hybrids and features nine behind-the-scens case studies. The authors address the conceptual design phase, for both civil and military airships, from initial consideration of user needs, material selection, and structural arrangement to the decision to iterate the design one more time. This textbook presents the process of aircraft conceptual design as seen in industry aircraft design groups. It contains design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data for design. Dietrich Kuchemann\'s The Aerodynamic Design of Aircraft is as relevant and as forward looking today as it was when it was first published in 1978. It comprises the philosophy and life\'s work of a unique and visionary intellect. Based upon material taught in a course at Imperial College London, the insight and intuition conveyed by this text are timeless. With its republication, Kuchemann\'s influence will extend to the next generation of aerospace industry students and practitioners and the vehicles they will produce. Kuchemann establishes three classes of aircraft based on the character of flow involved. Each class is suitable for a distinct cruise speed regime: classical and swept aircraft for subsonic and transonic cruise, slender-wing aircraft for supersonic cruise, and wave-rider aircraft for hypersonic cruise. Unlike most engineering texts, which focus on a set of tools, Kuchemann\'s approach is to focus on the problem and its solution - what kind of flow is best for a given class of aircraft and how to achieve it.With this approach, Kuchemann fully embraces the true inverse nature of design rather than answer what flow given the shape, he strives to answer what flow given the purpose and then what shape given the flow. This text aims to lead students and engineers from the initial concepts of landing gear design through to the final detail design. It provides a link in landing gear technology from historical practices to modern design trends, also considering the necessary airfield interface with gear design. Presenting proven methods, practical guidelines, and real-world flight-test results for a wide range of advanced flight vehicles, this book addresses the entire process of aircraft and rotorcraft system identification from instrumentation and flight testing to model determination, validation, and application of the results. This book unifies all aspects of flight dynamics for the efficient development of aerospace vehicle simulations. Now in its second edition, its purpose is still to provide the reader with a complete set of tools to build, program, and execute simulations. Unlike other books, it uses tensors for modeling flight dynamics in a form invariant under coordinate transformations. For implementation, the tensors are converted into matrices, resulting in compact computer code. The reader can pick FORTRAN templates of missiles, aircraft, or hypersonic vehicles from the complimentary CADAC CD-ROM to jump-start a particular application, and plot the results of CADAC Studio. It is the only textbook that combines the theory of modeling with hands-on examples of three-, five-, and six-DoF simulations. This new and enlarged edition also serves as anchor for a self-tutoring, three-part course of aerospace simulations in C++, available from AIAA. advanced undergraduate and graduate instruction or for self-study. Seventy eight problems and nine projects amplify the topics and develop the material further. Qualified instructors can obtain a complimentary solution manual from AIAA. which reviewed state-of-the-art FORTRAN simulations, has been replaced by the description of three self-study CD-ROMs of aerospace simulations in C++. These CDs broaden the applications of this book by spanning from simple three degrees of freedom cruise missiles to high fidelity missiles, aircraft, and hypersonic vehicles. The new Appendix D lays the theoretical foundation of tensor flight dynamics. It contains the proofs of the rotational time derivative and the Euler transformation. A textbook offering a resource for students attempting to understand the methods & thought processes involved in designing aircraft. It includes a working knowledge of how an aircraft is shaped & optimized to perform specific missions by countless design decisions.

The second edition of this best-selling book provides an introduction to virtually all aspects of the technology of composite materials as used in aeronautical design and structure. The text discusses important differences in the technology of composites from that of metals--intrinsic substantive differences and their implications for manufacturing processes, structural design procedures, and in-service performance of the materials, particularly regarding the cause and nature of damage that may be sustained. Presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. Using a real-world approach to the process of design, this title features more than 900 pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations, and equations. The first four chapters present genera! information characterizing hypersonic flows, discuss numerical formulations of varying degrees of rigor in computational fluid dynamics codes, and show the strengths and limitations of the various types of hypersonic experimentation. Other chapters cover the stagnation-region flowfield, the inviscid flowfield, the boundary layer, the aerodynamic forces and moments, viscous/inviscid interactions as well as shock/shock interactions, and a review of aerother-modynamics phenomena and their role in the design of a hypersonic vehicle. Sample exercises and homework problems are presented throughout the text. Written for those who want to calculate compressible and viscous flow past aerodynamic bodies, this book allows you to get started in programming for solving initial value problems and to understand numerical accuracy and stability, matrix algebra, finite volume formulations, and the use of flux split algorithms for solving the Euler equations.
