What is it about?
The basic performance equations are developed and explained and simple mathematical developments are provided to determine how each characteristic of the craft can be designed to maximize performance in a cohesive design.

Why is it important?
Without such an optimization technique, the resultant design of the craft may not be the best to meet some need or specification.
Perspectives
By using simple but experimentally confirmed design rules the design of a maximum performance craft can be assured and understood.
