Raymer presents an authoritative exposition of aircraft conceptual design aimed at designers, design managers, and instructors. The book updates and expands the first edition, with enlarged coverage of configuration layout, propulsion, performance and flight mechanics, and conceptual design examples. It explains an industry-oriented process built around design layout and design analysis, using a simplified first-order analytical methods set across the full conceptual design lifecycle.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/research-report/","Research
