AIRCRAFT DESIGN PROJECT I

OBJECTIVE To introduce and develop the basic concept of aircraft design. Each student is assigned the design of an Airplane (or Helicopter or any other flight vehicle), for given preliminary specifications. The following are the assignments to be carried out: EXPERIMENTS . ". #. %.
