Synopsis:
Designed to prepare students to become aeronautical engineers who can face new and challenging situations. Retaining the same philosophy as the two preceding editions, this update emphasizes basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques along with typical stability and control realities. This edition features a full set of exercises and a complete Solution's Manual. In keeping with current industry practice, flight equations are presented in dimensional state-vector form. The chapter on closed-loop control has been greatly expanded with details on automatic flight control systems. Uses a real jet transport (the Boeing 747) for many numerical and worked-out examples.
From the Publisher: A fundamental treatment of stability and control of airplanes. Covers the physical and mathematical foundations of the equilibrium and dynamic states of airplanes in flight. Includes numerical examples and an appendix of aerodynamic data.
