Description
This modern text presents aerodynamic design of aircraft with realistic applications, using CFD software and guidance on its use. Tutorials, exercises, and mini-projects provided involve design of real aircraft, ranging from straight to swept to slender wings, from low speed to supersonic. Supported by online resources and supplements, this toolkit covers topics such as shape optimization to minimize drag and collaborative designing. Prepares seniors and first-year graduate students for design and analysis tasks in aerospace companies. In addition, it is a valuable resource for practicing engineers, aircraft designers, and entrepreneurial consultants.
Reviews / Votes
'In my view the book fills a need and should be compulsory reading for all aerodynamicists (since every aerodynamicist should have a basic understanding of CFD). It is particularly rewarding to see that the Swedish aircraft industry is being given much space among the many well chosen examples.' Kenneth Nilsson '... I wish such a book had appeared a couple of decades back - it would have prevented several false starts! The reviewer has pleasure in recommending this book for all aerodynamicists ...' R. K.
