"Flight Dynamics" takes a new approach to the science and
mathematics of aircraft flight, unifying principles of aeronautics
with contemporary systems analysis. While presenting traditional
material that is critical to understanding aircraft motions, it
does so in the context of modern computational tools and
multivariable methods. Robert Stengel devotes particular attention
to models and techniques that are appropriate for analysis,
simulation, evaluation of flying qualities, and control system
design. He establishes bridges to classical analysis and results,
and explores new territory that was treated only inferentially in
earlier books. This book combines a highly accessible style of
presentation with contents that will appeal to graduate students
and to professionals already familiar with basic flight
dynamics.
Dynamic analysis has changed dramatically in recent decades,
with the introduction of powerful personal computers and scientific
programming languages. Analysis programs have become so pervasive
that it can be assumed that all students and practicing engineers
working on aircraft flight dynamics have access to them. Therefore,
this book presents the principles, derivations, and equations of
flight dynamics with frequent reference to MATLAB functions and
examples.
By using common notation and not assuming a strong background in
aeronautics, "Flight Dynamics" will engage a wide variety of
readers. Introductions to aerodynamics, propulsion, structures,
flying qualities, flight control, and the atmospheric and
gravitational environment accompany the development of the
aircraft's dynamic equations.
