AIRCRAFT DESIGN
Aircraft Design explores the conceptual phase of a fixed-wing aircraft
design project. Designing an aircraft is a complex, multifaceted process
that embraces many technical challenges in a multidisciplinary envi-
ronment. By definition, the topic requires intelligent use of aerody-
namic knowledge to configure aircraft geometry suited specifically to
a customer’s demands. It involves configuring aircraft shape, estimat-
ing its weight and drag, and computing the available thrust from the
matched engine. The methodology includes formal sizing of the air-
craft, engine matching, and substantiating performance to comply with
a customer’s demands and government regulatory standards. Associ-
ated topics include safety issues; environmental issues; material choice;
structural layout; and understanding the flight deck, avionics, and sys-
tems (for both civil and military aircraft). Cost estimation and manu-
facturing considerations also are discussed. The chapters are arranged
to optimize understanding of industrial approaches to aircraft-design
methodology. Example exercises based on the author’s industrial
experience with typical aircraft design are included. Additional sec-
tions specific to military aircraft highlighted with an asterisk are avail-
able on the Web at www.cambridge.org/Kundu
Ajoy Kumar Kundu was educated in India (Jadavpur University),
the United Kingdom (Cranfield University and Queen’s University
Belfast), and the United States (University of Michigan and Stanford
University). His experience spans nearly thirty years in the aircraft
industry and fifteen years in academia. In India, he was Professor at
the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur; and Chief Aircraft
Designer at Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Bangalore. In North Amer-
ica, he was Research Engineer for the Boeing Aircraft Company,
Renton, and Intermediate Engineer for Canadair Ltd., Montreal. He
began his aeronautical career in the United Kingdom with Short
Brothers and Harland Ltd., retiring from Bombardier Aerospace-
Shorts, Belfast, as Chief Assistant Aerodynamicist. He is currently
associated with Queen’s University Belfast. He held British, Indian,
and Canadian private pilot licenses. He is a Fellow of the Royal
Aeronautical Society and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers and
an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and
Astronautics.
