This book grew out of a handbook originally prepared to support a one-semester senior undergraduate course devoted to airplane design. It is intended primarily to involve students in the preliminary design of a modern commercial turbofan or turboprop transport. The technical content is arranged to illustrate how the material covered in aerospace engineering analysis courses is used to aid in the design of a complex system. In addition, the format of the book is aimed at being amenable to self-education in the topic and to distance-learning online applications.
