MODERN AIRCRAFT DESIGN,Volume 1. 4th Edition. by M. Hollmann NEW Edition with many new Programs. Stallion and Lancair IV designs used as examples. Explains the details of designing an aircraft. Configuration evaluation, performance, configuration sizing, loads per FAR Part 23, composite material properties, material testing, structural sizing, building, and flight testing. Secrets for designing conventional, canard, and three wing aircraft are discussed. 10 aircraft configuration examples are shown. Comparison of canard (Starship) and three surface (Avanti) aircraft is made. Although all calculations are performed by hand, a listing of 11 computer programs written in BASIC for the PC for aircraft performance, aerodynamic center, center of gravity, spar sizing, wing sizing, and composite material laminate analysis are included. Comparison between hand calculations and computer analysis is made and assumptions are explained. The wing design and airfoil selection of the Stallion and Lancair IV are discussed. Learn how to design the next ge! neration of advanced composite aircraft using finite element analysis and the latest computer hardware and methods. Airfoil data, engine selection and engine data, tail loads and sizing are covered. Book is used in many universities as a text book for aircraft design. A must for any one wishing to design and build general aviation aircraft. 244 pages, over 110 illustrations.

Too ... for the Content Given,
By Timothy J. Fry (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Modern Aircraft Design, Vol 1 (Spiral-bound)
The information is basic and development of the design equations is not very detailed. For...I would have expected a hardbound text written at the college level. To be fair, it's useful, it's just not worth the money being charged. A more appropriate price would be....Almost 100 of the 238 pages are devoted to computer program listings. This is a great "how to" book if you want information to do the preliminary design of a composite homebuilt. Not much information is included about other construction methods....
