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:
Thrust Modeling for Gas Turbines
Longitudinal Stability and Control
Lateral and Directional Stability and Control
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.
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.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Gudmundsson has set a benchmark for textbooks on aircraft design. Within its declared bounds this book is remarkably comprehensive, with introductory material, clearly presented mathematical tools with assumptions and derivations, notes on when and where to apply them and numerous real-world examples.
Gudmundsson truly has a feel for design, something he tries to convey throughout, describing each task, the nature of the designer's approach and the wide-ranging set of constraints to be addressed. As well as all the analytical work described above,
aircraft design requires graphic skills. A real pleasure in this book is the high quality of the illustrations; Gudmundsson is right to be proud of them.
Of the many textbooks on aircraft design this is my favourite. The author's declared aim remained, as with the first edition, to gather information and procedures helpful to the designer. He has achieved this to a very impressive standard. By including all aspects, even organisation and management of the process, he has made this a valuable and comprehensive 'go-to' reference source." --John M Robertson, CEng MIMechE MRAeS, RAeS General Aviation Group

Dr. Snorri Gudmundsson served from 1995-2009 at Cirrus Aircraft. He served in various engineering roles in the development of several aircraft, including the Cirrus SR20 and SR22 aircraft. From 2005-2009, he served as the Chief Aerodynamicist, where he was responsible for the aerodynamics of the SF50 Vision jet (recipient of the 2017 Collier Trophy). He had two appointments a Designated Engineering Representative (DER) for the FAA, as a Structural and Flight Analyst. He has contributed to the certification of several aircraft. This includes development and certification flight and structural testing. He has conducted load analysis, stability and control evaluation, and performance analysis on a variety of single and multi-engine aircraft. In 2010, Dr. Gudmundsson joined the faculty at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he is currently an Associate Professor of Aerospace Engineering, teaching aircraft design and aerodynamics.
