The book presents design topics in the order in which they typically occur during a design project. The analysis techniques presented are simplified to permit the student to experience the whole design process in a single course, including the key concepts of trade studies and aircraft optimization.

A powerful learning tool, RDS-STUDENT lets students apply everything they learn-as they learn it. The software package includes comprehensive modules for aerodynamics, weights, propulsion, aircraft data file, sizing and mission analysis, cost analysis, design layout, and performance analysis, including takeoff, landing, rate of climb, Ps, fs, turn rate, and acceleration. RDS-STUDENT also provides graphical output for drag polars, L/D ratio, thrust curves, flight envelope, range parameter, and other data. 
RDS-STUDENT runs on any IBM-PC compatible system with at least 512K memory, but is slower on 286 processors or below, particularly for design graphics. RDS-STUDENT runs on any IBM-PC compatible system running Windows or DOS. A 90-page user's guide accompanies the software, which is available on CD-ROM.

This textbook presents the process of aircraft conceptual design as seen in industry aircraft design groups. It contains design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data for design.

Aircraft Design : A Conceptual Approach

Winner of the Summerfield Book Award, winner of the Aviation-Space Writers Association Award of Excellence, and with over 30,000 copies sold, this is consistently the top-selling AIAA textbook title. This highly regarded textbook presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, and trade studies - in the same manner seen in industry aircraft design groups. Interesting and easy to read, the book has more than 900 pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations, and equations, and has extensive appendices with key data essential to design. The book is the required design text at numerous universities around the world and is a favorite of practicing design engineers. The new fourth edition is enhanced in many areas, with improvements and reworking of the text, expanded sizing and analysis methods, and up-to-date treatments of emerging technologies and concepts. A new section provides an introduction to spaceflight and rockets including thrust analysis and vehicle sizing for launch and planetary missions. Appendices are revised and additional exam questions are provided.

The companion RDS-STUDENT aircraft design software is a valuable complement to the text. RDS-STUDENT incorporates the design and analysis methods of the book in menu-driven, easy-to-use modules. Like the book, the program is metric-friendly and all inputs and outputs can be interchanged between metric and fps units with the press of a button. An extensive user’s manual is provided with the software, along with the complete data files used for the Lightweight Supercruise Fighter design example in the back of the book. RDS-Student has been extensively revised for the 4th edition of the book. RDS-STUDENT runs on any PC-compatible system and runs on any version of Windows or DOS.

RDS-Student: Software for Aircraft Design, Sizing, And Performance (AIAA Education Series)

This best-selling textbook presents the entire process of aircraft conceptual design - from requirements definition to initial sizing, configuration layout, analysis, sizing, optimization, and trade studies. Using a real-world approach to the process of design, this title features more than 900 pages of design methods, illustrations, tips, explanations, and equations. It includes overviews of lofting, subsystems, maintainability, producibility, vulnerability, and stealth; concepts and calculation methods for aerodynamics, stability and control, propulsion, structures, weights, performance, and cost; coverage of conventional and unconventional design methods, including UAV, canard, tandem wing, C-wing, oblique wing, asymmetrical, multi-fuselage, wing-in-ground-effect, and more.

RDSwin allows engineering students to take a aircraft design from first conceptual layout through functional analysis, leading to performance, range, weight, and cost results. By automating the grunt work of vehicle analysis, RDSwin makes enough time for the student to truly learn design. RDSwin integrates Design Layout (CAD), aerodynamics, weights, propulsion (jet &amp; prop), stability &amp; control, sizing, range, performance, and cost analysis. All new, all-original code (even the CAD module), all optimized for aircraft conceptual design and analysis. A true 32-bit Windows Application, with Windows pulldown menus, popup boxes, fonts, graphics, dialog boxes, clipboard read/write, Undo/Redo, and more. RDSwin outputs analysis results and program data to popup boxes, text files, Windows printers, or directly to your spreadsheet, word processor, or internet browser.
