Book Description

The most exciting moment for an aeronautical engineer is when his or her design becomes a working aircraft, the endpoint of a journey that begins in the classroom. This textbook provides the resources that students need to understand the methods and thought processes involved in designing aircraft. Students learn through the use of specific analytical principles and practical examples taught to them through examples, case studies, and corresponding problems to solve.

For professors, this textbook comes complete with end-of-chapter homework problems that provide a summary of the concepts and features contained in the chapters. The problems provide the student with an excellent opportunity to analyze and synthesize industry examples, ensuring that they understand the key concepts and their applications.

A Microsoft Windows(tm) based software package on CD-ROM, entitled AeroDYNAMIC, is available separately or with the textbook.

Not so good.......2006-09-26

Quite hard to follow. The organization is pretty weird and jumps all over the place. Diagram that are being refered to and are usually on the next page, so you end up fliping back and forth. Formulars are organized pretty badly. End of chapter has a summary which give the important parts, so that's a plus.

Great information source.......2005-09-23

This is a great book for students just entering the world of aeronautics. It starts with the basics and gradually moves up, at a pace comfortable for almost anyone. Highly recommended.

A great book .......2004-10-07

This is a great book to understand the principles of wings, stability and structures, I recommend for the ones who does not know a lot about aeronautics and want to know a bit about it.

Great Motivation.......2003-09-24

Dr. Brandt did really great job on this book. The way of his approach to the idea of becoming aerospace design enginners is excellent, and most of the problams and exercises he describe are also outstanding.

I would assume the only people buying this go to the air force academy or are taking classes that they really shouldn't be at another university.
