An updated and expanded new edition of an authoritative book on
flight dynamics and control system design for all types of current
and future fixed-wing aircraft Since it was first published, Flight
Dynamics has offered a new approach to the science and mathematics
of aircraft flight, unifying principles of aeronautics with
contemporary systems analysis. Now updated and expanded, this
authoritative book by award-winning aeronautics engineer Robert
Stengel presents traditional material in the context of modern
computational tools and multivariable methods. Special attention is
devoted to models and techniques for analysis, simulation,
evaluation of flying qualities, and robust control system design.
Using common notation and not assuming a strong background in
aeronautics, Flight Dynamics will engage a wide variety of readers,
including aircraft designers, flight test engineers, researchers,
instructors, and students. It introduces principles, derivations,
and equations of flight dynamics as well as methods of flight
control design with frequent reference to MATLAB functions and
examples. Topics include aerodynamics, propulsion, structures,
flying qualities, flight control, and the atmospheric and
gravitational environment. The second edition of Flight Dynamics
features up-to-date examples; a new chapter on control law design
for digital fly-by-wire systems; new material on propulsion,
aerodynamics of control surfaces, and aeroelastic control; many
more illustrations; and text boxes that introduce general
mathematical concepts. Features a fluid, progressive presentation
that aids informal and self-directed study Provides a clear,
consistent notation that supports understanding, from elementary to
complicated concepts Offers a comprehensive blend of aerodynamics,
dynamics, and control Presents a unified introduction of control
system design, from basics to complex methods Includes links to
online MATLAB software written by the author that supports the
material covered in the book
