Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software

This  modern text presents aerodynamic design of aircraft with realistic  applications, using CFD software and guidance on its use. Tutorials,  exercises, and mini-projects provided involve design of real aircraft,  ranging from straight to swept to slender wings, from low speed to  supersonic. Supported by online resources and supplements, this toolkit  covers topics such as shape optimization to minimize drag and  collaborative designing. Prepares seniors and first-year graduate  students for design and analysis tasks in aerospace companies. In  addition, it is a valuable resource for practicing engineers, aircraft  designers, and entrepreneurial consultants.
