Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Airplane Design and Construction By far the major part of experimental work in aero dynamics has been conducted in Europe rather than in America, where the feat of flying in a heavier than air ma chine was first accomplished. This book presents in greater detail than has hitherto been attempted in this country the application of aerodynamic research conducted abroad to practical airplane design. The airplane industry is now shifting from the design and construction of military types of craft to that of pleasure and commercial types. The publication of this book at this time is, therefore, opportune, and it should go far toward replacing by scientific procedure many of the cut and try methods now used. Employment of the data presented should enable designers to save both time and expense. The arrangement, presentation of subject matter, and explanation of the derivation of working formulae, together with the assumptions upon which they are based, and consequently their limitations, are such that the book lends itself to use as a text in technical schools and colleges.

Download or read book Aeroplane Structural Design written by T. H. Jones and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aeroplane Structural Design: A Book for Designers, Draughtsmen Students Although it may appear to be unnecessary, yet it is thought advisable to begin by glancing at the several components of an aeroplane, casually noting their functions, and describing very briefly any points of interest regarding them. This is followed by a typical example of an aeroplane of medium size in which all the strength calculations necessary to the complete design of the aeroplane are clearly shown, as this is more instructive than a bare statement of methods without examples showing their application. The factors of safety or loads used, are based on the results of model experiments, full scale work, or mathematical investigation by various authorities. For a given wing area, it is thought that a commercial aeroplane should be just as strong in its structure as a war machine. The latter must be able to effect a safe landing when various Wires or members have been damaged through enemy action; while in the case of the former, it is important that the life of the machine should be as long as possible on grounds of efficiency and economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive approach to the air vehicle design process using the principles of systems engineering Due to the high cost and the risks associated with development, complex aircraft systems have become a prime candidate for the adoption of systems engineering methodologies. This book presents the entire process of aircraft design based on a systems engineering approach from conceptual design phase, through to preliminary design phase and to detail design phase. Presenting in one volume the methodologies behind aircraft design, this book covers the components and the issues affected by design procedures. The basic topics that are essential to the process, such as aerodynamics, flight stability and control, aero-structure, and aircraft performance are reviewed in various chapters where required. Based on these fundamentals and design requirements, the author explains the design process in a holistic manner to emphasise the integration of the individual components into the overall design. Throughout the book the various design options are considered and weighed against each other, to give readers a practical understanding of the process overall. Readers with knowledge of the fundamental concepts of aerodynamics, propulsion, aero-structure, and flight dynamics will find this book ideal to progress towards the next stage in their understanding of the topic. Furthermore, the broad variety of design techniques covered ensures that readers have the freedom and flexibility to satisfy the design requirements when approaching real-world projects. Key features: • Provides full coverage of the design aspects of an air vehicle including: aeronautical concepts, design techniques and design flowcharts • Features end of chapter problems to reinforce the learning process as well as fully solved design examples at component level • Includes fundamental explanations for aeronautical engineering students and practicing engineers • Features a solutions manual to sample questions on the book’s companion website Companion website - www.wiley.com/go/sadraey
Download or read book Principles and Design of Ae roplanes Classic Reprint written by Herbert Chatley and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Principles and Design of Aeroplanes" by Herbert Chatley is a seminal piece on the workings of an aeroplane. It not only details out the theoretical principles involved in flight mechanics but also the design elements and technology that goes into creating a functional aeroplane. Chatley uses simple language to deconstruct some highly complex subject matter for the lay reader to understand. Replete with diagrams and calculations that showcase the various elements which play a part in aeroplane design, the author provides a comprehensive overview of all the intricacies involved in the process of making an aeroplane. Chatley divides "Principles and Design of Aeroplanes" into ten different chapters including separate sections on air pressure, propellers and motors, balancing in the air, construction techniques, challenges faced and the future of aeroplanes among other aspects. Chatley's immense knowledge and expertise shines through in the entire text, however it is even more accentuated when he discusses the challenges and future developments in the air space. It is here that the reader will be able to fully understand and appreciate the far sighted and revolutionary ideas of the author. Unlike other works that take on a textbook approach to the physics involved in aeroplane design, Chatley creates a fine balance between a gripping narrative and technical information. It is this quality in "Principles and Design of Aeroplanes" which makes it enlightening not just for students of science and aeronautical engineering but casual enthusiasts as well.

Download or read book THEORY OF FLIGHT CLASSIC REPR written by Richard Von Mises and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-04 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theory of Flight Thirty years ago, in the summer of 1913, the author gave for the first time a university course on the mechanics of airplane ight. On the basis of these lectures and similar ones in the following years there developed a small elementary textbook Fluglehre, which was pub lished up to 1936 in five German editions and translated into several languages. When asked, about three years ago, to prepare an English edition the author found that a book of somewhat different type would be more useful under the present conditions. There already exist in this country several introductory texts on the mechanics of ight suitable for beginners. On the other hand, a mature student or an engineer well versed in the advanced stages of higher mathematics can readily work his way through the currently published research papers. An actual demand does, however, seem to exist for a book at an intermediate level, say, on the borderline between the last year of college and the first year of graduate work. It is assumed that the reader of the present text knows the principles of calculus and has some training in general mechanics inso far as the standard college education provides for these things. Only such parts of the theory of ight as are understandable at this level are presented in the book, the mathematical theory of uid mechanics thus being excluded.1 In order to keep the book within reasonable limits peripheral questions and many details in all topics have had to be omitted. Although the book is meant as a text for students and engineers, it was not the author's purpose to supply the reader with ready-made formulas in which to substitute design data. Nor was it his intention to give a collection of results that the candidate for a degree should memorize. The book aims, as did the Fluglehre, to develop interest in and understanding of the fundamental ideas that underlie the design and the operation of modern aircraft. The problems inserted at the ends of the sections, particularly those marked by an asterisk, are intended to give some direction to the efforts of any reader who would apply himself toward a better comprehension of the diversified questions involved in the theory of airplane ight.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Structural Analysis and Design of Airplanes The appendix gives equations for the moments and deflections of continuous beams with various types of loading. For the more unusual cases the derivation of the equations is given. Data necessary for de sign purposes, such as properties of strut sections, cable capacities, and ultimate strength of materials, are also placed in the appendix. To entirely separate stress analysis from design is impracticable, as the two are very closely correlated. For this reason a considerable amount of space has been devoted to a discussion of design in so far as it concerns structural problems.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Building and Flying an Aeroplane: A Practical Handbook Covering the Design, Construction, and Operation of Aeroplanes and Gliders But in this ease of accomplishment lies a danger, namely, the belittling of the value of accurate design and the misjudging of the true importance of small things. The inventive mind usually believes itself capable of making improvements in almost anything, and the aeroplane inventor is no exception to the rule. Filled with the confidence born of ignorance, and with only the knowledge he has gleaned from newspaper and magazine accounts of the popular types of machines, he works out a brand new design. The usual, in fact, the invariable result is failure, discouragement, and a loss of time and money. How much more sensible for the young inventor to build his first machine without varying in one particular from a tried and proved model, leaving his flights of inventive fancy to his later years of maturer knowledge and judgment.

Download or read book Advanced Aircraft Design written by Egbert Torenbeek and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the overall appearance of modern airliners has not changed a lot since the introduction of jetliners in the 1950s, their safety, efficiency and environmental friendliness have improved considerably. Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, advanced materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is not yet widespread. Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered. The quasi-analytical approach enables designers to compare the results of high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods which need far less computational effort. Another advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers to “what if” questions rapidly and with little computational cost. Key features: Presents a new fundamental vision on conceptual airplane design optimization Provides an overview of advanced technologies for propulsion and reducing aerodynamic drag Offers insight into the derivation of design sensitivity information Emphasizes design based on first principles Considers pros and cons of innovative configurations Reconsiders optimum cruise performance at transonic Mach numbers Advanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes advances understanding of the initial optimization of civil airplanes and is a must-have reference for aerospace engineering students, applied researchers, aircraft design engineers and analysts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aeroplane Design, and a Simple Explanation of Inherent Stability It seems well to make clear why these two? writers should be taken seriously by trained and experienced engineers, especially in these days when aeronautical science is in its infancy, and when much harm has been done both to the development of aeroplanes and to the good repute of genuine aeroplane designers by people who pose as "aeronautical experts on the strength of being able to turn out strings of incomprehensible calculations resulting from empirical formulae based on debatable figures acquired from inconclusive experiments carried out by persons of doubtful reliability on instruments of problematic accuracy. Certain British manufacturers of sufficient independence of character have proceeded along their own lines and have produced aeroplanes which remain unbeaten, power for power, by any in the world on the score of sheer efficiency. These machines - notably Avro two-seater tractor biplanes, Bristol single seater biplane Scouts, Martinsyde Scouts, and Vicker's "pusher" gun-carrier biplanes - have done more than anything else to assure to the Royal Flying Corps during 1915 that ascendancy in the air over German aircraft which has been such a notable feature of the war.
