Conceptual Aircraft Design Electronic Textbook

Overview & Synopsis

The aim of this manual is to briefly state theoretical bases of
methods and models used in conceptual airplane design, to develop and
consolidate understanding of the relations between the main airplane parameters
and characteristics, and to prepare students to perform their graduation
projects. This tutorial contains only necessary information for obtaining the
first experience in the conceptual airplane design. Also it is supposed that
students refer to textbooks and other scientific sources, which seems difficult
at first. In this case this tutorial should be used as a guide-book for
additional information sources.
