The book is arranged in two parts. In Chapters 1-14 each of the significant influences on aircraft project design is described. This part starts with a broad introduction to civil air transport, followed by a detailed description of the design process and a description of aircraft layout procedures. The next set of chapters are concerned with detailed descriptions of the design methods and an introduction to the principal aircraft components. The concluding chapters deal with the parametric methods used to refine the design configuration and a description of the formal presentation of the baseline design.
