Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students

Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students provides a comprehensive self-contained course in aircraft structures. Starting with the structural mechanics of aircraft this book goes on to cover elasticity, aeroelasticity and airworthiness. The new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and includes:

• Extra worked examples and problems
• Latest materials in aircraft construction
• Airframe loads produced by manoeuvring
• Increased Finite Element analysis

A solutions manual for lecturers to accompany the book is available free from the web at www.arnoldpublishers.com/support/megson.htm ‘As an introduction to the problems encountered in the structural design of modern aircraft, Megson’s book can be recommended to both students and those already engaged in structural analysis in aerospace design offices.’ Aerospace (of the second edition) Also of interest Civil Jet Aircraft Design L.
