Introduction
Designing Aircraft
Design:
• Not a clear-cut/scientific or completely rational process
–Despite efforts to formalize
–Neat flow charts of steps aren’t real life, still needed as goals
– But! Some systematic procedures available
• Creativity/imagination, but not pure inspiration
• Broad understanding of physical world
• Beware of cookbook approach:
-understand your concept
• Never stop asking questions!
