### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The aircraft design book for the modern age
*by K***K on June 24, 2020*

I cannot say enough good things about this book. If you have any interest in aircraft conceptual design, there are really 3 books out there that stand out: Gudmundsson's, Raymer's, and Nicolai's. Raymer's and Nicolai's books have been around for a long time and they're both great, but Gudmundsson's book is really special in that it is extremely clear as far as practical procedures are concerned. Every subject is very well-illustrated by examples, plots, diagrams, tables, pictures, etc. Any question you might have, there is a method, an equation, sometimes even the equation's derivation, a plot, a table, a solid reference to get you to the answer without guesswork. Raymer's and Nicolai's books are generally broader but don't always cover things in a consistently deep and meticulous fashion the way Gudmundsson's book does. Also, Raymer's and Nicolai's books lean more on the military side of things (especially Nicolai's), which is great if that is what you are working on, or as a reference to base your work on. But as a student, or a first-time aircraft designer, I suspect that Gudmundsson's book might end up being more helpful to you as a practical everyday tool. If you have the budget and time, get all 3 books. But if you have to start with only ONE book and then expand to the others later as a way to broaden the areas of aircraft design that you want to cover, I think you should start with Gusmundsson's book and grow from there. It's just a more modern take on the subject, plus it cites both Raymer and Nicolai as needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A comprehensive and complete preliminary design text
*by K***N on June 5, 2017*

This book has saved me hundreds of hours in generating a complete light aircraft preliminary design. It can be read cover to cover, and while the concepts can be quite difficult to grasp, the topics are covered by the author thoroughly and without unneeded complexity. An engineer of any discipline can work through this with enough time invested. The examples are invaluable and can help the dedicated individual create a spreadsheet of design parameters, information, and plots with dependencies before moving on towards detailed design. This book will continue to be a reference for me. If you are at all interested in the preliminary design process or a clean sheet design for an aircraft (specifically homebuilt or 14 CFR Part 23) look no further.Note: There are a few computational, grammatical, and spelling errors. Ask the author for the errata and he will provide it!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Text on Aircraft Design
*by S***A on July 23, 2016*

This is a very complete book on the subject of Aircraft Design. I find it to be a very good reference with lots of details, better than digging through the various texts I have from my college days. I am currently working through major revisions to an existing aircraft design so the formulas and guidance are put to good use. I have a friend and fellow aircraft builder in Australia who bought the book on my recommendation and he says it is his most valuable resource asd he works through his own unique aircraft design. In his case he does not have the four year degree to back him up but he says the book is easy enough to follow if he makes the effort. This is an excellent text for the serious amateur aircraft designer and would make a suitable text for collage level aircraft design courses.
