I searched for a pdf copy of Shevell's work and while doing so I found the following related pdf on
Aircraft Design - Synthesis and Analysis. One of the authors is Ilan Kroo, Professor of Aerodynamics and Astronautics at Stanford but the introduction states, interestingly:
Richard Shevell was the original author of several of these chapters. He worked in aerodynamics and design at Douglas Aircraft Company or 30 years, was head of advanced design during the development of the DC-9 and DC-10, and taught at Stanford University after that for 20 years. To a large extent, this is his course.
