Purchase options and add-ons

Lessons Learned in Aircraft Design presents examples of lessons learned in airplane design since 1945. The lessons are largely drawn from the aircraft design and accident/incident literature. The author hopes that this book will contribute to the safety of flight. A brief summary is presented of safety statistics, certification and operational standards, safety standards and their relationship to design in general. Accident/incident discussions are presented in the following areas: - operational experience - structural design - flight control system design - powerplant installation design - systems design - manufacturing and maintenance - aerodynamic design - configuration design and aircraft sizing In each case the discussion starts with the recounting of a problem which arose. Then the probable cause of the problem is identified, one or more solutions are indicated and finally a lesson learned is formulated. Since many designers will eventually become program managers, it is instructive to recount some trials and tribulations associated with marketing, pricing and program decision making. As is shown by many examples in this book, safety of airplanes often starts in the design phase. However, sometimes the certification process itself, for whatever reason, fails. This book will be useful to practicing design engineers, test pilots and program managers. It can be used in the classroom to help in the education of future aircraft designers and engineering/maintenance personnel.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for a Limited Audience
    Reviewed in the United States on 10 April 2019
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    This book was purchased to use in an environment not quite for it's intended audience. Although the book was intended for engineering students, we have had success adapting it to our aircraft maintenance apprenticeship program.
    We've used the book now for two months with aircraft mechanic apprentices and it has served it's intended purpose well.

    Highly recommended as an academic adjunct for any program that requires papers to be written on various aspects of aircraft design or maintenance and how it impacts safety, the passenger experience, piloting, or the mechanic.

    Very entertaining read about the less obvious factors in airplane design that can cause incidents or accidents, and how throughout aviation history lessons were learned and applied on subsequent airplanes. Recommended for aviation geeks like me.
