Synopsis

Airplane Design Part VI: Preliminary Calculation of Aerodynamic, Thrust and Power Characteristics is the sixth book in a series of eight volumes on airplane design. The airplane design series has been internationally acclaimed as a practical reference that covers the methodology and decision making involved in the process of designing airplanes. Educators and industry practitioners across the globe rely on this compilation as both a textbook and a key reference. Airplane Design Part VI: Preliminary Calculation of Aerodynamic, Thrust and Power Characteristics, familiarizes the reader with the following fundamentals: - Methods for estimating airplane drag with and without flaps - Methods for estimating airplane lift with and without flaps - Methods for estimating airplane pitching moment with and without flaps - Methods for estimating installed thrust and power data - Methods for estimating stability derivatives - Methods for estimating control derivatives - Methods for estimating hingemoment derivatives
