Purchase options and add-ons

Winner of the AIAA Summerfield Book Award and the Aviation/Space Writers Association Award of Excellence, the sixth edtiion of Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design-from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. Widely used in industry and government aircraft design groups, it also the design text at major universities around the world. A virtual encyclopaedia of engineering, it is known for its completeness, easy-to-read style, and real-world approach to the process of design.

In this sixth edition Dr Raymer has expanded and updated his presentation of fast-moving technologies, added lots of new material, and re-written introductory material to make it even more user-friendly. Given the ever-growing importance of electric propulsion, Raymer has added a whole new chapter entitled Electric Aircraft. This presents technologies, design-to guidance, and rules of thumb, and offers electric aircraft performance and sizing equations derived in a format familiar to those designing conventionally-powered airplanes.

This encyclopaedic book covers every topic necessary to the understanding of aircraft design. Preliminary sizing, aerodynamics, structures, stability and control, propulsion, configuration layout, performance, cost analysis, and much more are all presented starting from first principles and building to a set of tools allowing the reader to actually do a realistic job of aircraft conceptual design. All topics are presented from the point of view of the aircraft designer, not the specialist in any given topic area.

After 19 Chapters detailing the way to design normal aircraft, Raymer concludes with four more chapters describing the design of more-exotic flight vehicles including electric aircraft, helicopters, vertical take-off jets, hypersonic aircraft, launch vehicles, airships, flying wings, forward-swept wings, asymmetric airplanes, and much more.

Product description

Review

[Raymer] implies that design involves far more than drawing a pretty shape and then shoe-horning people, engines, and structural members into it. It involves art.... The book takes a practical view of the development of a design. It covers not only aerodynamics, stability, and stress analysis but also the interstitial stuff about general arrangement and the interplay of competing design considerations that are really the grout that holds a design together. --Peter Garrison, Flying magazine

This new edition of this excellent textbook keeps it up to date and will ensure its relevance and usefulness well into the future. --The Aeronautical Journal

    5.0 out of 5 stars Very Encompassing Aircraft Design and Engineering textbook
    Reviewed in the United States on 13 May 2021
    Verified Purchase
    This book is well written, and helps develop a strong foundation for understanding how to design an aircraft, as well as why to follow the methods presented in the text.
    I purchased this after purchasing and reading Dan's "Simplified Aircraft Design for Homebuilders" book.
    I highly recommend this text to anyone interested in learning how to design an airplane, however, I suggest that they have a mechanical design and or engineering background, or are in the process of attaining education and or experience in those fields to better understand the methods and math presented in the text.

    Graduated from aerospace, and this book was recommended to me by a graduate student. I read it religiously like a bible!!!

    It has all the basic flight calculations that you need, and has a really well-written example as well. Great book to have on the shelf and for quick calculation numbers.
