Introduction to Aircraft Design: Three phases in aircraft design, computer based aircraft design methodologies, differences between LTA and HTA aircraft, type of civil and military aircraft.

Configuration and Layout: Types and comparison of wing, tail, fuselage,
landing gear, wing-tail combinations, powerplant (types, numbers,
locations), unconventional aircraft configurations.

Sizing and Constraint Analysis: Initial sizing, estimation of design gross weight, rubber engine sizing
and fixed engine sizing, refined sizing method and constraint analysis.

Estimation Methodologies: Lift and drag coefficient, design loads,
component mass breakdown, acquisition cost, direct operating cost.

Operational and Environmental Issues: Range-payload diagram, V-n diagram,
noise and emission levels, special considerations such as stealth,
survivability, maintainability.
