[Todd Coburn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the 2nd edition of Peery's Aircraft Structures, and is co-authored by Azar.

It is thinner & reorganized relative to the first edition, and although a decent text, it is inferior to the first edition, which is discussed below.

Peery's first edition of Aircraft Structures stands as the second-best leading strength & design text for aircraft (&aerospace) structures, standing only behind E.F. Bruhn's Analysis & Design of Flight Vehicle Structures.

Peery deals with some subjects such as aircraft loads, V-n diagrams, & the delta-P Method better than Bruhn, but Bruhn is more comprehensive and covers other subjects better or more fully.

The (1st) edition is now available from Dover for about $25 bucks, making it an essential add to the library of any practicing strength engineer.

I highly recommend that serious structures professionals obtain a copy of both Bruhn's Analysis & Design of Flight Vehicle Structures & Peery's 1st Edition of Aircraft Structures.
