This note adopts a holistic
view of the aircraft as a system, covering: basic systems engineering, cost and
weight estimation, basic aircraft performance, safety and reliability, lifecycle
topics, aircraft subsystems, risk analysis and management; and system
realization.

There
are thousands of designs and ideas about aircraft which have been developed
through aviation history. Despite this some main components became permanent in
every aircraft design. As fix-wing aircrafts are the most common aircrafts they
will be the most studied. Topics covered includes: Fixed-wing aircraft
components, Control surfaces, Powerplant and propulsion devices, Landing gear,
Cockpit, Navigation lights, Rotary-wing aircraft components.
In this book the author has
sketched swiftly the slow stages by which in each of these fields of activity
success has been attained. He has collated from the immense mass of records of
the activities of both submarines and aircraft enough interesting data to show
the degree of perfection and practicability to which both have been brought. And
he has outlined so far as possible from existing conditions the possibilities of
future usefulness in fields other than those of war of these new devices.
