Performance, Stability, Dynamics and Control of Airplanes

Booknews

A textbook for a two-semester senior undergraduate or first-year graduate course in aerospace. Includes the necessary background material on basic aerodynamics, dynamics, and linear control. Assumes the airplane is a rigid body and therefore does not consider elastic deformations and their effects on an airplane's motion. Includes a number of solved examples to illustrate the theory and basic principles, and several exercise problems to help develop problem- solving skills.
