Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Dan Raymer, noted aircraft designer and author of the industry standard textbook Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach, has written a non-technical book that will be treasured by everyone who loves aeroplanes, wonders how they get designed, and wants to know how somebody becomes an aircraft designer. Half the book is Raymer's warm and personal memoir of growing up in the 50's and 60's as the son of a Navy Test Pilot, discovering his own love of aviation, and entering the rarefied club of those who stare at a blank sheet of paper and turn it into a new aircraft or spacecraft design. The other half covers Raymer's early involvement in the projects that became the B-2, F-22, T-45, F-35, and many more. The book is an "easy" read, quick-paced, funny, and aimed at a general audience. Raymer includes his mistakes, disappointments, and downright stupid decisions. It's not all aeroplanes either -- read about Raymer's aborted musical career, his misadventures in exotic destinations like Belarus, Turkey, and Bulgaria, how he got on the Internet early enough to grab , and how he came to write his design textbook.
