Thank you berkshire, I have considered both books you suggested (and others) and have concluded that the best approach will be a hybrid one. I will start with a general aerospace textbook that covers universal considerations (ie lift distributions, dihedral, washout, aeroelastic behavior, etc)...
There is no need to be rude. I performed a preliminary search and found only history books and research papers. The closest thing to a textbook was Tailless Aircraft in Theory & Practice by Karl Nickel & Michael Wohlfahrt. To my disappointment, reviews indicate it is light on theory. I am in...
Hi all,
I'm a structural engineer joining an aeronautical design project. I would like to familiarize myself with the analysis of aerodynamics and controls for tailless aircraft, and would appreciate your help choosing a textbook.
The ideal book would be a near-comprehensive toolkit for...
