General Aviation Aircraft Design, Second Edition, continues to be the engineer’s best source for answers to realistic aircraft design questions. The book has been expanded to provide design guidance for additional classes of aircraft, including seaplanes, biplanes, UAS, high-speed business jets, and electric airplanes. In addition to conventional powerplants, design guidance for battery systems, electric motors, and complete electric powertrains is offered. The second edition contains new chapters:_x000D_
Thrust Modeling for Gas Turbines_x000D_
Longitudinal Stability and Control_x000D_
Lateral and Directional Stability and Control_x000D_
These new chapters offer multiple practical methods to simplify the estimation of stability derivatives and introduce hinge moments and basic control system design. Furthermore, all chapters have been reorganized and feature updated material with additional analysis methods. This edition also provides an introduction to design optimization using a wing optimization as an example for the beginner._x000D_
Written by an engineer with more than 25 years of design experience, professional engineers, aircraft designers, aerodynamicists, structural analysts, performance analysts, researchers, and aerospace engineering students will value the book as the classic go-to for aircraft design._x000D_
The printed book is now in color, with 1011 figures and illustrations!_x000D_
Presents the most common methods for conceptual aircraft design_x000D_
Clear presentation splits text into shaded regions, separating engineering topics from mathematical derivations and examples_x000D_
Design topics range from the “new” 14 CFR Part 23 to analysis of ducted fans. All chapters feature updated material with additional analysis methods. Many chapters have been reorganized for further help. Introduction to design optimization is provided using a wing optimization as an example for the beginner
