Aircraft Design: A Conceptual Approach and RDS-STUDENT: Software for Aircraft Design, Sizing, and Performance Set (Book & CD ROM) (AIAA Education Series) Hardcover – 1 Jun. 2006

A good book with a lot of relevant information. A lot of text, for most parts its good. The formulas could be shown a bit more directly shown instead of a wall of text describing the formula. Could be a SI version instead of old fashion units.

CD is not up to date. Amazon should consider upgrading to modern computer software. For the price it is not good value.

Well, what can I say.For anyone wanting to pursue a career in the field of Aircraft Design, especially in the Conceptual Design Phases, then this is the Bible.It covers all aspects of the Design Phases, for Jet aircraft as well as Propeller aircraft, from a sketch to simple and then more complex analysis of your Designs.A must.
