The Anatomy of the Aeroplane is a physical textbook of aircraft design which has become necessary reading for students of aeronautics in many universities and colleges around the world. The book sets out to bridge the apparent gulf many feel exists between their understanding of aeronautical principles and the practical world of aeroplanes, by explaining how aircraft are shaped in terms of a technical response to natural, operational and design requirements. The shaping of an aeroplane is considered in terms of aerodynamics, propulsion, land and water operation, and structural arrangement. The appendices include projects dealing with light aeroplanes, utility aeroplanes, subsonic transports, supersonic transports, and strike & reconnaissance aeroplanes.
