Dynamics of Flight Vehicles
Flight dynamics deals principally with the response of aerospace vehicles to perturbations in their flight environments and to control inputs. Topics covered includes: Introduction to Flight Dynamics, Implications of Vehicle Symmetry, Aerodynamic Control, Atmospheric Properties, Lifting surface geometry and nomenclature, Aerodynamic properties of airfoils, Aerodynamic properties of finite wings, Wing-tail interference, Static Longitudinal Stability and Control, Dynamical Equations for Flight Vehicles, Dynamic Stability, Control of Aircraft Motions.
