The journey from an aeronautical engineer's design to a working aircraft is one which begins in the classroom. This textbook provides the resources students need to understand the methods and thought processes involved in designing aircraft. The book provides a working knowledge of how an aircraft is shaped and optimized to perform specific missions by countless design decisions. It seeks to provide motivation throughout a student's academic career by giving an idea of the design process and providing a foundation for more advanced studies in aeronautical and aerospace engineering. End of chapter problems give a summary of concepts and features and provide an opportunity to analyze and synthesize industry examples and their applications.

Great information source,
By
This review is from: Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective, 2nd Edition (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
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.

Good book, but missing the software,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective, 2nd Edition (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
The book is good and recommended. However I bought the book specifically because I had read it comes with a DVD of design software. The book even says it is supposed to come with it, yet there was no DVD included, and no instuctions on how to obtain the DVD. If Amazon reads this please contaact me at my e-mail address for this account.

Not so good,
This review is from: Introduction to Aeronautics: A Design Perspective, 2nd Edition (Aiaa Education Series) (Hardcover)
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.
