Design of Aircraft

Design of Aircraft by Corke, Thomas. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780130892348.

For senior-level Aerospace Engineering students dealing with the conceptual design of aircraft. The approach of this book is to demonstrate how theoretical aspects, drawn from topics on airplane aerodynamics, aircraft structures, stability and control, propulsion, and compressible flows, can be applied to produce a new conceptual aircraft design. The book cites theoretical expressions wherever possible, but also stresses the interplay of different aspects of the design which often require compromises.
