Description
John Wiley The Design Of The Aeroplane 2Nd Edition by Stinton D
The new edition of this classic international textbook, used by universities, training schools, industry and enthusiasts, has been extended to feature a number of new studies in practical aeroplane design. Mathematics - Which general readers may skip, is the minimum needed to work out common-sense shapes, aimed at meeting the certification requirements of the three world airworthiness authorities: FAA (USA), British CAA and European JAA. Land and seaplanes are included, from micro light and commuter, to a 30 seat surface effect (ekranoplan) regional transport, to satisfy specific markets. A new chapter, on 'Using the back of an envelope', shows how to make 'ballpark' technical judgments.
