Main contributors to this have been gas turbine engine technology, advanced materials, computational aerodynamics, advanced structural analysis and on-board systems. Since aircraft design became a highly multidisciplinary activity, the development of multidisciplinary optimization (MDO) has become a popular new discipline. Despite this, the application of MDO during the conceptual design phase is not yet widespread.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes\u003c\/i\u003e presents a quasi-analytical optimization approach based on a concise set of sizing equations. Objectives are aerodynamic efficiency, mission fuel, empty weight and maximum takeoff weight. Independent design variables studied include design cruise altitude, wing area and span and thrust or power loading. Principal  features of integrated concepts such as the blended wing and body and highly non-planar wings are also covered. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The quasi-analytical approach enables designers to compare the results of high-fidelity MDO optimization with lower-fidelity methods which need far less computational effort. Another advantage to this approach is that it can provide answers to “what if” questions rapidly and with little computational cost.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey features:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents a new fundamental vision on conceptual airplane design optimization\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an overview of advanced technologies for propulsion and reducing aerodynamic drag\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers insight into the derivation of design sensitivity information\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmphasizes design based on first principles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsiders pros and cons  of innovative configurations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eReconsiders optimum cruise performance at transonic Mach numbers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eAdvanced Aircraft Design: Conceptual Design, Analysis and Optimization of Subsonic Civil Airplanes\u003c\/i\u003e advances understanding of the initial optimization of civil airplanes and is a must-have reference for aerospace engineering students, applied researchers, aircraft design engineers and analysts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEgbert Torenbeek, Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEgbert Torenbeek is Professor Emeritus of Aircraft Design at Delft University of Technology.\u003cbr\u003eHe graduated as an engineer in 1961 at TU Delft and in 1964 he became responsible for teaching the Aircraft Preliminary Design course at the department of Aerospace Engineering.
