书籍简介

波音 YC-14 于 1976 年初次飞行，令人印象深刻航空成就。这架飞机标志着飞机设计领域的许多头名，突出的是使用上表面吹气（使喷气发动机气流向下），结合边界层控制，允许以惊人的低空速飞行。YC-14 项目管理不断采用新技术，例如使用“光控”飞行控制和数字机身设计——这些技术后来成为波音公司的主要方向。

虽然这本书是关于特定飞机类型的，但它同样是关于 YC-14 设计团队的，他们创造了一种多组织文化，不惧怕“超越界限”，创造了一架性能不错的飞机。为了让读者坐在飞行员的座位上，波音和空军试飞员提供了他们对 YC-14 的操控和性能的反思。同样有趣的是，从头到尾详细探讨了设计一架新飞机的挑战。

The Boeing YC-14, being first flown in 1976, was an impressive aeronautical achievement. This aircraft signaled many firsts in aircraft design, the most prominent being the use of upper-surface blowing (which turned the jet engine flow downward), combined with boundary-layer control, to allow flight at amazingly low airspeeds. The YC-14 program management consistently embraced new technologies, such as the use of “fly-by-light” flight controls and use of digital airframe design—technologies that would later become mainstream for Boeing.

Although this book is about a specific airplane type, it is just as much about the YC-14 design team that created a multiorganizational culture, unafraid to “draw outside the lines,” to create a dramatically capable airplane. To place the reader in the pilot’s seat, Boeing and Air Force test pilots provide their reflections of the handling and performance of the YC-14. Equally intriguing, the challenges of designing a new airplane from start to finish are explored in detail.
