DESCRIPTION:
Easy to follow, step-by-step methods to lay out, analyze, and optimize your new homebuilt aircraft concept

This book, however, wastes not a single page. After the obligatory "don't blame me if you kill yourself" intro (would sloppy designer/builders read a book like this anyway?), the book gets right down to business.The first four c. Expensive and not much to it Based on the reviews and the author's other book "Aircraft Design, a Conceptual Approach" (which is a must have I think for anyone interested the topic of aircraft design) I was looking forward to this book.

Very detailed, very well explained and as deep as you want without going into messy, messy mathematical
