Great Great Great Great Book !!
An essential book. Every people who work in aeronautic and space industry HAVE to read this book. Very easy to understand. Should be the first book on airplane design that you read.

I’m a second-year aerospace engineering student and after searching for books that would tell me exactly why I’m learning what I am, this one was recommended to me. The author explains how and why designers do what they do, and even has a handwritten design example in the back. I bought the RDS software with this book, and am still figuring it out. If you do get the RDS, don’t expect a Windows interface. Think DOS. At least it’s not a system hog.

An excellent text for aeronautical students aiming for the mainstream (ie jet-powered military/civil),industry.Not as good as Darrol Stinton’s books. Nothing about cooling liquid-cooled piston/rotary engines.
The “Simplified For Hombuilders” version is adequate for homebuilders in my opinion.

A must have for any aeronautical engineer. I recommend it to all students of aeronautical engineering. The book is very professional and comprehensive.
