"Composite Airframe Structures" A must read!.......2000-04-21

This is an excellent book for layman and expert alike. Lots of manufacturing and tooling information as well as structural analysis data. I used this as the text book for an "Introduction to Composite Tooling" class that I teach. The book was published in China and does have some typos, but other than that, an excellent book!

airframe stress.......2006-11-07

Book is a solid reference, although many corrections need to be made. Been familiar with book for several years finally broke down and bought my own copy.

A very reasonable book..........2003-01-16

Michael Niu has once again produced a very reasonable book. This book is destined to become a standard reference and will complement the other classic in the industry very well (Bruhn's Analysis and Design of Flight Vehicle Structures). The book covers just about most topics required to perform effective practical stress analysis. Again as with Bruhn this is a bit of a cookbook, but in many instances that's what is required to design practical aerospace structures. Some of the material is a repeat of what's available in Bruhn; however, there is plenty of additional material which makes this book worth having. The big drawback of this book is that there are a lot of mistakes in the formulas, etc. This was likely a result of trying to rush the book to print. I bought the 1st edition and will likely have to wait until the 3rd or 4th edition before using this as a real reference. As pointed out in the other reviews, most of the material in this book needs to be cross referenced with other books of company manuals before being used. Having said this the book can still be very useful and one needs to remember that practical stress analysis books are scarce and so Niu is to be congratulated just for trying to put something down on paper.

Bruhn wanna-be.......2001-11-06

This book is a collection of information and data that already exist in Bruhn. I ordered my book from the author before its general release and it came with 4 or 5 pages of errata with it. There are so many more errata I have found since then. I have found this book to be useful only for the methodology of its examples; otherwise, I go back to its source (Bruhn).

Good book to perform stress analysis on aircraft structure.......1999-10-06

I'm a french stress engineer and i'm working on an Airbus project. This book is helpfull to size a part or an assemblie and to avoid one failure case. But be carefully there are some mistakes in the formulas or in the graph so please compare with an other book like the Brühn to avoid some big mistake.

OK.......2007-06-27

This book was not one of my favorite Mike Crichton books; and I am a pilot. There are better of his out there. However, if you have read all of his other books this one isn't a wast of time, i just didn't find it as fun as some of his more popular books.

Not what I expected.......2007-06-24

This is my first Crichton book. I have a HUGE fascination in Air Disasters, and thought this would be 'right up my allay'. It wasn't. In all fairness I've only read 1/2 of it but don't intend to finish it because it doesn't seem to be going anywhere?! Starts off real good, and then slackens off rapidly. I've found that there are too many characters which are not established long enough to be remembered (I had to keep flicking back to remember who they were!?!) The plot doesn't thicken, there is way too much technical jargon (some of it might as well of been written in Latin) and the chapters are too short, so these's a lot of chopping around. My advice... unless you're an aeronautical engineer with a lot of time to spare... skip it!

I thought this was suposed to be suspensful..........2007-05-11

I tried to read this, and I just completely lost interest. It started out interesting, but it completely just lost it with all of the companies and "this part is counterfeit that part is counterfeit". He spent way too much time explaining all of these silly parts and all of the little things. I put it down a little over halfway through. You can tell that Michael Crichton is very arrogant and a huge know-it-all by the way he writes. I don't like books that feel like the author is always explaining something because his readers are too stupid and don't have a degree in the subject to understand it. Funny thing is, I remeber some head of some magazine wanting a reporter to get the story on the airplane and said "don't bring me a "parts" story either!", when that's exactly what this book is.

Based Loosely on an Plane Crash.......2007-04-22

This is not one of Crichton's best works partly because it seems to be based on an airliner crash where a similar event occurred. Crichton skillfully mixes in other intrigue, but if you make this connection you'll be dissapointed in his creativity compared to his other excellent work.

Great book.......2007-03-24

It kept me in suspense until the very end. Michael Crichton is an excellant writer

A decent reference book on Airframe Structures.......2007-01-28

I think Mr. Niu's textbook provides a good discussion on the basic and fundamental knowledge required by the Structures engineer. It should be particularly helpful for the engineer new to the field. I did come across a few errors, but I have not noticed the myriad of errata that was rumoured. The text does not contain the depth of discussion on Structures/stress analysis that I wanted, like the industry-standard Bruhn, however the figures, charts, examples, and pictures are much clearer, and henceforth put things into perspective much better. This text, combined with Bruhn, gives me the reference material I need to perform my stress analysis tasks.

Niu, Airframe Structural Design, 2nd Ed. - Review.......2006-08-16

Micahael Niu has filled a void that has existed since E.F. Bruhn last published his book thirty years ago. I recommend all of Niu's books, and this one is no exception. It is full of design details and recommendations that are difficult if not impossible to obtain without extensive experience in many companies. It is a book to be studied, however, not simply glanced at. The practicing designer should do well to periodically re-visit this book before undertaking a new assignment.

Unlike his other books on stress analysis, this is a design reference only, with few examples of calculations that provide further insight into the reasons for the design recommendations provided. It is thus a complementary book, and a good addition to any aircraft reference library.

This book creates a vacuum.......2003-02-15

Used this book in structures I. Might be a fair reference....students.......don't bother with this one.

Good book for aerospace engineers.......2002-04-22

This book is really well done, it has everything you ever
wanted to know about sizing an airplane... it has helped
me in my Airframe Structure class + project.
One thing though: beware that there are many errors
(typos and calculations) in the book.

Fire the proof editor!.......2001-09-05

The first edition has so many errors, typo and otherwise, that I believe the author and his publishers rushed without proper proofreading just to get it printed and out the door so they could start selling it. The content is very much the same as Niu's other book, Airframe Structural Design, except the chapter arrangements. Nevertheless, the worked-out problems are very helpful and practical and make this book valuable.

Weak polemic/thriller of airliner manufacturers.......2007-06-07

"Airframe" is meant to be a topical story about the business of building airplanes - full of details and praised for being "ripped from the headlines" and "plausibly detailed" - but we should know better. Topical stories typically cut-and-paste news stories and rely on publicity from actual events to boost sales, filling in the blanks with convenient fiction. The result isn't as realistic as "apparently realistic" - plausible enough to convince readers that the author's slim understanding of aviation will back up the slim plot.

"Airframe" centers on a fictitious airliner - the Norton N-22, a technological marvel. Popular opinion shifts when an N-22 encounters severe turbulence - killing three and injuring scores more. The media, unlike their real-life counterparts - blame Norton rather than the airline. (Remember the hype over low-cost outfits like "ValueJet" and bloated dinosaurs like Pan-Am and TWA, and remember all of those "US-scare" jokes?) Ambitious reporters, "bottom-feeding" lawyers and other unethical, uninformed and non-credentialed "experts" descend on Norton.
Admittedly, at this point that "Airframe" could still have been a great novel with which to explore issues like products liability, airlines and the media, but the plot is built on two large elements that make "Airframe" an unnecessarily bad read. First off, "Airframe" makes no secret of its sympathies, and wastes no time establishing who the bad guys are - lawyers, bad; college boys with imported cars, bad; the media - bad; rich people, bad; engineers at Norton - good.

Secondly, despite becoming a polemic in defense of the aviation industry, "Airframe" unconvincingly sexes up the story with corporate intrigue and an internal sabotage of the N-22's future. Worse, true to form, Crichton makes both the media and the conspiracy responsible for Norton's ills, never deciding which is actually responsible. (Crichton normally mixes the mundane - hypocritical political correctness, feminism, environmentalism, foreign control of domestic businesses, genetic engineering, etc - to drive his plots, and then combines them with a sinister conspiracy to accomplish the same end. In other words, if evil corporate types are really guilty, then it's kind of unfair to saddle the media or lawyers for the same result - sort of like having your pie and throwing it too.)

Despite a novel looking into the dynamics of commercial aviation, and despite Crichton's reputation for books that are meticulously researched, "Airframe" doesn't even seem all that realistic. "Airframe" is meant to pit the informed scientists of the aviation industry against the ignorant profiteers of the litigation industry and the media, but there are no visible characters who are pilots or engineers. "Airframe" begins with a quote by a veteran journalist who warns against giving respectability to the uninformed, which does less to make Crichton's points than seize the moral high-ground of debate. Certainly "Airframe"'s details don't betray any more knowledge of aviation than any other layman who subscribes to "Aviation Week".

Also, Crichton's characters repeatedly compare their case to that of the DC-10 (which suffered a string of accidents and bad press in the 1970's) as an example of evil media. For Crichton, the DC-10 fits the N-22 - the media hounded the DC-10, and McDonnel never sold another one. (I lived near an airport until '98 and routinely saw DC-10's in flight until they were phased out recently - nearly two decades after their "grounding" and about the same time as its competitor, the L-1011, a plane the DC-10 outsold. I even flew a DC-10 on a major airline in 1994 - I can't remember when I last flew a Tri-Star. DC-10's more likely suffered - if at all - from airline deregulation, which boosted demand for small planes like the 737, now one of the most popular airliners. Crichton never mentions that MacDonnell managed continue selling other planes and even try their hand at the MD-11, a development of the branded DC-10.)

Like a poorly designed aircraft, "Airframe" never gets off the ground - Crichton quickly lets you know that he's less interested in aviation than the media. This is not Craig Thomas' "A Different War", where the hero redeems the suspected airliner by flying it. The flight in one simple chapter of that book easily beats Crichton. Crichton's holds airliners in a perspective no different from that of the dim laymen he populates his books with - as vehicles. Alas again that the plot heaps scorn on the media even though corporate espionage has more to do with Norton's problems. Despite often using "corporate" as synonymous with "sinister", "Airframe" is at best a flaccid indictment against corporations, let alone the media.

Knowing he lacks enough plot to remind readers (and perhaps himself) that "Airframe" is about something exotic and beyond his grasp, Crichton falls back on his usual suspects - corporate intrigue, but his corporate villains are especially weak. When the plucky heroine, a Norton exec, wants to clear the N-22, she's saddled with an unwanted intern (and likely spy) named Bob Richman. It's clear that Richman is dead-meat from page-first: if blue-chip upbringing, top-flight education, and high-priced (and foreign!) car aren't enough warning, his youth makes Richman enemy number-one (not that he does anything apparently evil, but Crichton's villains are seldom evil, just unlikable). At first, I expected a surprise - make a hero out of the sleazy ivy-leaguer and confound readers primed for the Richman's fall. Instead, "Airframe" remains boldly unsurprising (the brat's name is the perfect example - I guess "Richboy" would have been too obvious), and there isn't a thrill to be had. Throw in a "twist" ending that's blatantly lifted from a true incident that Crichton would never have known about had the media failed to responsibly report it, and you've got a book that deserves to be grounded - for good. If you've got to read Crichton, read the first Jurassic, the Andromeda Strain or Sphere. If you've got to read about flying, pick up Coonts or Craig Thomas.

The Mystery of the Flight Incident.......2005-11-11

A charter is going from Hong Kong to Denver. Suddenly there is a problem, the plane dives and passengers are discomforted. TPA 545 makes an emergency landing in Los Angeles for medical care. Many foreign charter carriers did not match the rigorous safety standards of domestic scheduled carriers. The FAA investigates these "incidents".

Casey Singleton, a single mom, works in Quality Assurance for Norton Aircraft. QA dealt in problems in customer support. Casey has a new assistant who has to be educated and gently handled. Casey explains the very high standards needed for aircraft ("Bldg 64 6:45 am"). The "War Room 7:01 am" chapter shows how problems are investigated. There is a big order that will save the company, but only if this problem can be explained by next week! The problem appears to be "severe pitch oscillations" which could be caused by "uncommanded slats deployment". The expert says it could not be pilot error because that pilot was superb; it had to be a mechanical problem ("Bldg 202/FSIM 7:59 am"). [Is this a clue?] Inspection reveals a non-standard part that could have caused the malfunction ("Hangar 5 9:40 am"). Is the rumor about the wing offset just a projection of fears? Why do the media censor information about "Cheapskate Airlines", a stock scam similar to the then current "high-tech" stocks? Do reporters write with a presumption of guilt to make their subjects look silly or foolish? Has deregulation resulted in using aircraft beyond their expected life ("Proof Test 10:19 am")? It takes regulations to provide safety, not a "free market". Every part on an aircraft has a paper history for documentation. Casey finds the repair record ("Norton QA 12:30 pm"), and the seemingly correct paper.

The "Newsline/New York 1:54 pm" chapter explains the working of television news stories. More counterfeit parts are found (which don't meet the high standards required). The "Outside Norton 11:10 am" chapter explains how news stories are created for sensationalism. Note the funding source for the "Institute for Aviation Research". See the reporter asking questions to cause an emotional reaction. The video camera recorded a sound like the slats deploying. Television news is not required to present the other side of an issue. The "Norton QA 11:50 am" chapter explains the trick used in interviews to get a reaction. The hidden agenda comes out ("Bldg 64 3:01 pm"). How difficult is it to film a test flight ("War Room 4:20 pm")? On Saturday morning the plane is taken up for a test flight, with two passengers. The flight recreates the incident successfully to rule out any "design flaw". Then the mystery is solved. The Aircraft Incident Report is written in language that means little to the general public. The last chapter contains the news reports that end this story. These items conceal more than they reveal. The phrase "deep integrity" suggests a well-hidden quality. This novel is educational in telling about the tricks played by any award-winning news program.

Michael Crichton has placed this fast-paced story in a manufacturing factory and created an interesting and entertaining story that informs the general public about events behind the news. The High-Tech stock scams have crashed to earth, outsourcing of jobs continues, oppressive taxes on wage earners has resulted in a zero savings rate. Could it get worse? Only with a pandemic.
