5.0 out of 5 stars This book is just what you need, November 19, 2000

This review is from: The Design of the Aeroplane (Paperback)

I used this book as the main source of information and design data for the development of my own airplane design. The author goes directly into design carachteristics without spending too much in complicated aerodinamics formulations, but deep enough to cover the necessary details of the design process. Just basic engineering knowledge required.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear and immediately useful information, June 12, 1998

This review is from: The Design of the Aeroplane (Paperback)

I am a pilot and aircraft builder and found this book essential for the comprehension of the structures and flight characteristics of the various aircraft designs. It is clearly written and contains explanations of immediate comprehension along with the more traditional calculations.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is not a picture book., November 2, 1999

Before I bought, I open inside, then not more than a minute, I can feel, "Yes, this is what I want". Most books are full of pictures and say what happen, but do not give the reason of why or how. This book is what I like, it explianed in details. Well, what can I say, if you like to read pure theory, buy it, if you don't really like formular, just only theory..think about it, if you like picture book, don't buy it. Summary: it is not for beginner. But once you understand it, it is amazing.
