Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout

Engineering, General Moving on from the conceptual design of an aircraft, it becomes necessary to lay down the details of the airframe. This is effectively done in two stages - derivation of the applied loading and layout/sizing of the primary structural members. In his latest contribution to the literature Aircraft Loading and Structural Layout. Denis Howe provides comprenensive coverage of all aspects of loading actions analysis, together with the logical extension to the conceptual design of the airframe. He thereby meets two perceived needs that are not currently addressed by existing aircraft design texts, where loading analysis tends to treat only the basic symmetric flight envelope, and where structural analysis often assumes that a certain level of design detail has already been established. The author's comprenensive lecture notes, accumulated during 45 years of teaching aircraft design at Cranfield University provided the basis for this valuable reference text which offers a straightforward, systematic approach to the quantitative derivation of the initial structural concept. Readers will find a simple, logical, sequence to derive the form, location and approximate sizing.

Jetliner Cabins

Now in paperback and fully updated to include the Airbus 380! This is a visual and fascinating book that focuses on the interior designs of aircraft cabins and how the many challenges faced in the layout of such a tight space can be met with flair and brilliance. It is a design context in which the tiniest detail can change a myriad of aspects. "Jetliner Cabins" is introduced by an overview of recent cabin design history and the book goes on to show, in a wealth of colour and black and white photographs, interiors from airlines around the world; great and small, historically significant and modern, lavish and minimal. It also provides examples past and present, of airline branding, from colours and identity, to the ultimate airline dining experience. This revised edition includes more colour images, and the additional pages on the 'salons of the sky' - Airbus 380 - and its forthcoming rivals from Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer, bring this book up-to-date.
