The study of flight dynamics requires a thorough understanding
of the theory of the stability and control of aircraft, an
appreciation of flight control systems and a grounding in the
theory of automatic control. Flight Dynamics Principles is a
student focused text and provides easy access to all three topics
in an integrated modern systems context.
Written for those coming to the subject for the first time, the
book provides a secure foundation from which to move on to more
advanced topics such as, non-linear flight dynamics, flight
simulation, handling qualities and advanced flight control.
About the author:
After graduating Michael Cook joined Elliott Flight Automation
as a Systems Engineer and contributed flight control systems design
to several major projects. Later he joined the College of
Aeronautics to research and teach flight dynamics, experimental
flight mechanics and flight control. Previously leader of the
Dynamics, Simulation and Control Research Group he is now retired
and continues to provide part time support. In 2003 the Group was
recognised as the Preferred Academic Capability Partner for Flight
Dynamics by BAE SYSTEMS and in 2007 he received a Chairman s Bronze
award for his contribution to a joint UAV research programme.
New to this edition:
Additional examples to illustrate the application of
computational procedures using tools such as MATLAB(r), MathCad(r)
and Program CC(r).
Improved compatibility with, and more expansive coverage of the
North American notational style.
Expanded coverage of lateral-directional static stability,
manoeuvrability, command augmentation and flight in turbulence.
An additional coursework study on flight control design for an
unmanned air vehicle (UAV).
