1Introduction
1.1 Overview
This book covers design studies on fixed winged aircraft and the conceptual stage of a project in detail, covering both civil and military aircraft types except for the V/STOL. Chapter 1 begins with a brief historical introduction, surveying our aeronautical legacy to motivate readers by describing the remarkable progress made from mythical conceptions of flight to high‐performance aircraft with capabilities unimagined by early aeronautical pioneers. This is followed by presenting the issues involved with units and dimensions as well other pertinent topics; for example, cost implications and ending with a study of the atmosphere.
This chapter covers the following topics:
- Section 1.2: A Brief Historical Background
- Section 1.3: Aircraft Evolution
- Section 1.4: Current Design Trends for Civil and Military Aircraft
- Section 1.5: Future Design Trends for Civil and Military Aircraft
- Section 1.6: Forces and Drivers
- Section 1.7: Airworthiness Requirements
- Section 1.8: Current Aircraft Performance Analyses Levels
- Section 1.9: Comparison Between Civil and Military Design Requirements
- Section 1.10: Topics of Current Research Interest Related to Aircraft Design
- Section 1.11: Cost Implications
- Section 1.12: The Classroom Learning Process
- Section 1.13: Units and Dimensions
- Section 1.14: Use of Semi‐Empirical Relations and Graphs
- Section 1.15: Atmosphere
Current trends indicate maturation in the technology of classical aeronautical sciences with diminishing returns ...
