Airplane Flight Dynamics & Automatic Flight Controls: Part I
Used Book in Good Condition
Airplane Flight Dynamics & Automatic Flight Controls, Part I, provides exhaustive coverage of the methods for analysis and synthesis of the steady state and perturbed state (open loop) stability and control of fixed wing aircraft. This widely used book has been updated with modern flying quality criteria and aerodynamic data. Throughout this text, the practical (design) applications of the theory are stressed with many examples and illustrations. Aircraft stability and control characteristics are all heavily regulated by civil as well as by military airworthiness authorities for safety reasons. The role of the these safety regulations in the application of the theory is therefore stressed throughout. Airplane Flight Dynamics & Automatic Flight Controls, Part I is an essential reference for all aeronautical engineers working in the area of stability and control, regardless of experience levels. The book minimizes reader confusion through a systematic progression of fundamentals: - General steady and perturbed state equations of motion for a rigid airplane - Concepts and use of stability & control derivatives - Physical and mathematical explanations of stability & control derivatives - Solutions and applications of the steady state equations of motion from a viewpoint of airplane analysis and emphasis on airplane trim, take-off rotation and engine-out control - Open loop transfer functions - Analysis of fundamental dynamic modes: phugoid, short period, roll, spiral and dutch roll - Equivalent stability derivatives and the relation to automatic control of unstable airplanes - Flying qualities and the Cooper-Harper scale: civil and military regulations - Extensive numerical data on stability, control and hingemoment derivatives
