Summary: Outstanding summary of conceptual aircraft design
Review: Mr. Raymer has managed to explain a very complicated process in a way that is both understandable and interesting. Conceptual aircraft design (i.e., starting with nothing but a set of performance criteria to be met) is a multi-variable problem in which the value of most of the variables depend on other variables. The solution of such problems require initial approximations with subsequent iterations. Mr. Raymer explains the conceptual design process, gives historic values used for first approximations and makes good use of actual examples. Two conceptual designs, one a homebuilt aerobatic aircraft and the other a supersonic fighter, are provided in the Appendix to illustrate the procedures described in the book. I found the book interesting both in subject matter and writing style. Although written as a college textbook, the use of actual aircraft to illustrate various points and the author's obvious desire to be precise about his descriptions makes the book easy to follow and fun to those interested in the subject.

Summary: this book is cool
Review: This book goes over the entire design of airplane and is a great place to start if you want to be in the airplane design business. it is published by the american institute of aeronautics and astronautics so they probably know what they are talking about. i definitely recommend this book.

Summary: AWESOME
Review: This is the FIRST book anyone willing to learn aircraft design should buy. Te book doesn't contain a lot of mathematics, moreover, it will teach you the do and don't in aircraft design. It will not teach you, say, how to perform structural analysis. it will tell you the way one should think of astructural analysis in aircraft design. Every single step is coevred by the book: conceptual basic design, mission design, payload, structural and aerodynamic design. Thought there are plenty of book that will cover each subject at a much higher level, one still needs to know the things you can find here. Buy it, be sure you'll appreciate it.

Summary: BEST AIRCRAFT DESIGN BOOK EVER
Review: We use this book for Aircreaft design I and II at Embery Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach Florida. Great Book...Iy you are a professional or an amateur and want just one book to learn almost everything about aircraft design this is definitely the book for you...There is a lot of information in the book..great for a 2 semester course. from structures to aerodynamics to structures to stability and control to final conceptual design...
