Unmanned air vehicles are becoming increasingly popular
alternatives for private applications which include, but are not
limited to, fire fighting, search and rescue, atmospheric data
collection, and crop surveys, to name a few. Among these vehicles
are avian-inspired, flapping-wing designs, which are safe to
operate near humans and are required to carry payloads while
achieving manoeuverability and agility in low speed flight.
Conventional methods and tools fall short of achieving the desired
performance metrics and requirements of such craft. Flight dynamics
and system identification for modern feedback control provides an
in-depth study of the difficulties associated with achieving
controlled performance in flapping-wing, avian-inspired flight, and
a new model paradigm is derived using analytical and experimental
methods, with which a controls designer may then apply familiar
tools. This title consists of eight chapters and covers
flapping-wing aircraft and flight dynamics, before looking at
nonlinear, multibody modelling as well as flight testing and
instrumentation. Later chapters examine system identification from
flight test data, feedback control and linearization.
Presents experimental flight data for validation and verification
of modelled dynamics, thus illustrating the deficiencies and
difficulties associated with modelling flapping-wing flightDerives
a new flight dynamics model needed to model avian-inspired
vehicles, based on nonlinear multibody dynamicsExtracts aerodynamic
models of flapping flight from experimental flight data and system
identification techniques
This textbook utilizes the ideas and concepts that made the
international edition a valued companion to economics students and
lecturers the world over, but tailors its language and
illustrations to better suit its Arab readers. Regional case
studies, photographs and examples bring the principles and concepts
of economics to life for Arab learners, who are encouraged to apply
the information and data contained in Economics to their own
environment and experiences.
Beginning in 1541 with Hernando De Soto's Spanish expedition for
gold, African Americans have held a prominent place in
Chattanooga's history. Author Rita Lorraine Hubbard chronicles the
ways African Americans have shaped Chattanooga, and presents
inspirational achievements that have gone largely unheralded over
the years.
