A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design process using the principles of systems engineering Due to the high cost and the risks associated with development, complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for the adoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presents the entire process of aircraft design based on a systems engineering approach from conceptual design phase, through to preliminary design phase and to detail design phase. Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed in various chapters where required. Based on these fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall. Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics will find this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in their understanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety of design techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom and flexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approaching real-world projects. Key features: • Provides full coverage of the design aspects of an air vehicle including: aeronautical concepts, design techniques and design flowcharts • Features end of chapter problems to reinforce the learning process as well as fully solved design examples at component level • Includes fundamental explanations for aeronautical engineering students and practicing engineers • Features a solutions manual to sample questions on the book’s companion website Companion website - www.wiley.com/go/sadraey

Provides a Comprehensive Introduction to Aircraft Design with an Industrial Approach This book introduces readers to aircraft design, placing great emphasis on industrial practice. It includes worked out design examples for several different classes of aircraft, including Learjet 45, Tucano Turboprop Trainer, BAe Hawk and Airbus A320. It considers performance substantiation and compliance to certification requirements and market specifications of take-off/landing field lengths, initial climb/high speed cruise, turning capability and payload/range. Military requirements are discussed, covering some aspects of combat, as is operating cost estimation methodology, safety considerations, environmental issues, flight deck layout, avionics and more general aircraft systems. The book also includes a chapter on electric aircraft design along with a full range of industry standard aircraft sizing analyses. Split into two parts, Conceptual Aircraft Design: An Industrial Approach spends the first part dealing with the pre-requisite information for configuring aircraft so that readers can make informed decisions when designing vessels. The second part devotes itself to new aircraft concept definition. It also offers additional analyses and design information (e.g., on cost, manufacture, systems, role of CFD, etc.) integral to conceptual design study. The book finishes with an introduction to electric aircraft and futuristic design concepts currently under study. Presents an informative, industrial approach to aircraft design Features design examples for aircraft such as the Learjet 45, Tucano Turboprop Trainer, BAe Hawk, Airbus A320 Includes a full range of industry standard aircraft sizing analyses Looks at several performance substantiation and compliance to certification requirements Discusses the military requirements covering some combat aspects Accompanied by a website hosting supporting material Conceptual Aircraft Design: An Industrial Approach is an excellent resource for those designing and building modern aircraft for commercial, military, and private use.

This is a reproduction of a famous 1926 air power manual. In the iconography of early American airpower history, certain figures stand out: William "Billy" Mitchell, Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, and Carl A. "Tooey" Spaatz perhaps foremost. But lesser-known figures, some virtually forgotten today, had considerable influence on the development of airpower thought, doctrine, and organization. One of these men was William C. Sherman, the author of Air Warfare. Sherman was present when the foundations were laid and played a significant if not a major role in the construction of the United States (US) Army Air Corps until his tragic death in 1927--a year after his book was published. Sherman was more intellectual in his advocacy and less zealous in his approach, which may account for his lack of notoriety. Not surprisingly then, although not as well-known as Mitchell's Winged Defense, Sherman's book was more rigorous in its approach and balanced in its argument. In that light it is interesting to note that the only American work quoted by marshal of the Royal Air Force, J.C. Slessor, in his benchmark 1936 airpower study, Air Power and Armies, was William C. Sherman's Air Warfare.Chapter I - Some Principles of Air Warfare * Human factor in war * Distinctive characteristics of air combat * Shock action * Mass psychology * Chapter II - The Characteristics of Aircraft * The Airplane: Design compromise * Speed - Useful load - Strength * Speed and human factor * Rate of climb and ceiling * Maneuverability * Performance factors * Power - Visibility * Maintenance * Weather and darkness effects * The Balloon.: Description and operation * The Airship: Non-rigid, semi-rigid and rigid types * Comparisons with airplanes * Chapter III - Individual Combats and Defensive Formations * Individual and mass air fighting * Aircraft machine guns and ammunition * Fundamentals of airplane gunnery * Dead spaces * Vulnerability * Single-seater combat * Loop - Tail-spin - Roll * Immelman turn * Single-seater versus two-seater * Defensive formations * Chains of formations * Chapter IV - The Service of Observation * Airplane Observation: General effect on war * Influence and lessons of World War * Tactical objectives * Effect of altitude and visibility * Reconnaissance * Liaison, contact, artillery, and exceptional missions * Balloon Observation: Compared with airplane * Missions * Airship Observation: Balloon and airship * Airplane and airship * Chapter V - Pursuit Aviation * Basic Mission * Control of the air * Cooperation * Air barrages * Objectives * Formations * Attack of single airplane by a flight * Combat between two pursuit flights * Pursuit flight versus defensive formation * Squadron in attack * The group - command airplane * Interplane communication * The wing * The brigade * Chapter VI - Attack Aviation * Characteristics of attack airplane * Fundamental mission * Armament * Moral effect * Attack of column * Other targets * Employment as a reserve * Aids cavalry * Chapter VII - Bombardment Aviation * Post-war progress * Bomb development: demolition, Armor-piercing, chemical, incendiary, smoke and gas * Fuses * Sights * Tactical development * Objectives * Towns and cities * Supply systems * Industrial centers * Lines of communication * Overseas communications * Combat zone * Coast defense * Day and night bombardment * Chapter VIII - Antiaircraft Defense * Importance * Cannon * Accuracy * Difficulties of firing * Advantages and disadvantages * Harassing fire * Location of guns * Missions of machine guns * Defense of columns * Defense of a line and of areas * Listening apparatus * Searchlights * Balloon barrages * Air force * Information service * Defense of airdromes * Chapter IX - Notes on Air Logistics
