Airplane Design Part I: Preliminary Sizing of Airplanes by Dr. Jan Roskam, Ackers Distinguished Professor of Aerospace Engineering, The University of Kansas. Roskam Aviation and Engineering Corporation, Ottawa, Kansas. Original hardbound edition, x + 202 pages.
The opening volume of Roskam's classic eight-volume Airplane Design series - the practical, step-by-step design sequence that has been used in aerospace engineering programs and by working design engineers for four decades. Contents:
- Introduction to the preliminary sizing process
- Estimating take-off gross weight (W_TO), empty weight (W_E) and mission fuel weight (W_F)
- Estimating wing area (S), take-off thrust (T_TO) or take-off power (P_TO), and maximum lift coefficient - clean, take-off and landing
- A user's guide to preliminary airplane sizing
- References, appendices and index

This is the original hardbound printing from Roskam Aviation and Engineering Corporation with gilt-stamped cloth boards - not the later DARcorporation softcover reprint. These original printings carry no ISBN. The current in-print softcover of this volume retails for $35 new.
