Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software

Aircraft Aerodynamic Design with Computational Software by Arthur Rizzi, published by Cambridge University Press on May 20, 2021, is a comprehensive resource that explores the aerodynamic design of aircraft through practical applications. This edition spans 465 pages and is presented in English, offering insights into the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. The book includes tutorials, exercises, and mini-projects that guide readers through the design of various aircraft configurations, from straight to swept and slender wings, addressing speeds from low to supersonic.

Readers will find a toolkit that covers essential topics such as shape optimization to minimize drag and collaborative design processes. This text is tailored for seniors and first-year graduate students preparing for design and analysis tasks in aerospace companies. Additionally, it serves as a valuable reference for practicing engineers, aircraft designers, and entrepreneurial consultants, supported by online resources and supplements to enhance the learning experience.
