Synopsis

Aircraft Performance and Sizing is a concise, practical treatise for the student or experienced professional aircraft designer.

This second volume comprises key applied subjects for performance based aircraft design:

• Systems engineering principles;
• Aircraft mass properties estimation;
• The aerodynamic design of transonic wings;
• Aircraft stability and control and;
• Take-off & landing runway performance.

This book serves as a textbook for an undergraduate aircraft design course or as a reference for the classically trained practicing engineer.
