Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout

In this latest contribution to the conceptual design of an aircraft
Denis Howe presents comprehensive coverage of all aspects of
loading action analysis, together with the logical extension to the
conceptual design of the airframe. He thereby meets two
perceived needs which are not currently addressed by existing
aircraft design texts, where loading analysis tends to be dealt
with somewhat superficially, treating only the basic symmetric
flight envelope, and where structural analysis often assumes that a
certain level of design detail has already been established.

Graduate and post-graduate level aeronautical students will
welcome the approach offered by Aircraft Loading and Structural
Layout. Practising engineers in the aircraft industry will find a
useful loading action reference, providing a simple method for the
derivation of initial structural data for input to advance analysis
programs and the interpretation of the output from them.
