Aerodynamic Design of Transport Aircraft Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought the book not long after its release and have meant to write a detailed review for some time. It surprises me that after almost 2 years there has been 0 review on Amazon for this amazing title on the scarcely discussed topic of aerodynamic design. Have my like-minded peers been secretly buying and using this book without giving a review in the hope of denying hesitant potential readers of knowing just how important this book is?
I decide to wait no longer and simply state the following:
This is simply the only book perhaps for many years that contains an almost up-to-date (discusses A380 and 777) treatment of the PRACTICAL aspects of the aerodynamic design applied to transport aircraft. This book is written by an career aerodynamicist, about the REAL DEAL stuff, for engineers. It is a matter-of-factly compilation of the trade with rich illustration taken from the literature that otherwise will take you either many solid years of full-time research on your own or a personal aerodynamic design couch to obtain. The fact that this book both satisfy a rarely satified need and is GOOD means anyone with serious interest in studying and doing actual aerodynamic design in the industry should read this book.
Problems it does have. For starters it leaves me wanting for MORE simply because what it already has is GOOD. Another problem is that I think some of the more important parts, such as the one on wing modification to obtain good isobar patterns deserves more in-depth discussion.
That's basically what comes to my mind right now and should convince those who come to this page, are excited, but hesitant because of the price issue to make a decision...
