As with all engineering, there is an increasing emphasis on
design issues in aeronautical engineering. 'Civil Jet Aircraft Design' is the definitive
textbook on this core subject. Written by experts in their field, this book provides a
general introduction to aircraft design, while also exploring the underlying procedures
and practices in depth.
Concentrating on large scale commercial jet aircraft, the book reflects current areas of
growth in the aircraft industry. Readers are introduced to the procedures and practices of
civil aircraft design at a level suitable for undergraduate students of aeronautical
design, and for professionals in industry.
