BEDE ON DESIGN |
|
|
Aircraft
designer Jim Bede began his career on the F-4
Phantom. Since then he has designed several aircraft
including the popular BD-4, BD-5, and BD-10 jet.
This series of video tapes which have been produced
by EAA cover 7 phases of aircraft design and the
many decisions to be made by the designer. They
are available by themselves or as a set of seven
at a discounted price.

| Speaking
as someone with little mathematical background,
I found Jim Bede's videos easy to understand and
quite interesting. My best description is that
they provide clarity to the concepts that are
described in technical detail in other publications.
For the new or aspiring designer, these videos
are a great first step and will clearly explain
the choices available along with their benefits
and compromises. These videos will get you thinking
in the right directions and provide the knowledge
necessary for the next steps. However the experienced
aircraft designer or seasoned engineer may find
them a bit basic and somewhat lacking technically. |
