The Design of Aeroplanes is a comprehensive guide to the principles and practices of aircraft design, written by Arthur William Judge and first published in 1916. The book covers a wide range of topics related to the design of aeroplanes, including aerodynamics, structures, propulsion systems, and materials. It provides detailed explanations of the underlying principles of each aspect of aircraft design, as well as practical advice on how to apply these principles in practice. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a specific area of aircraft design. The first section covers the basic principles of aerodynamics, including lift, drag, and stability. The second section discusses the various types of aircraft structures, including monoplanes, biplanes, and triplanes. The third section covers propulsion systems, including engines and propellers. The book also includes chapters on materials and construction techniques, as well as on the design of control systems, such as ailerons and elevators. Throughout the book, Judge emphasizes the importance of balancing the various design considerations, such as weight, strength, and aerodynamic efficiency, in order to create a safe and effective aircraft. Overall, The Design of Aeroplanes is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the principles and practices of aircraft design. Its clear explanations and practical advice make it accessible to both students and professionals in the field. Despite its age, the book remains relevant today, as many of the fundamental principles of aircraft design have remained unchanged over the past century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
