One of the best

This is one of the best resources for the conceptual and preliminary design of aircraft. It is not as thorough as Raymer; however, it covers the design for performance in much greater detail. It also covers engine performance and selection in greater detail than most design texts. You'll find that much of the worthwhile information in other sources is borrowed from Torenbeek.

Torenbeek's synthesis of subsonic airplane design

This book has a huge amount of useful data which is used in the preliminary design of aircraft compared to other books. Although it goes into a lot of detail is surprisingly very easy to read and understand. I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in the design of subsonic aircraft as a student.
