This third edition is a comprehensive guide to aircraft control and simulation. The updated text covers flight control systems, flight dynamics, aircraft modelling, and flight simulation from both classical design and modern perspectives, as well as two new chapters on the modelling, simulation, and adaptive control of unmanned aerial vehicles.
Aircraft Control and Simulation, 2e
Describes the basics of aircraft flight simulation and control.
This book covers the physical and mathematical fundamentals of aircraft flight dynamics as well as more advanced theory enabling a better insight into nonlinear dynamics.
Wayne Durham, Kenneth A. Bordignon, Roger Beck. A: Linear Programming 213 Using ... Examples of all three approaches are included in the ADMIRE simulation (described in Appendix B and available at companion website page to this book).
The book covers the mathematical modelling and software which underpin flight simulation.
Based on this, one may define control margins such as the elevator trim margin. ... Similar to the elevator trim margin, one may define a corresponding control margin, the elevator manoeuvre margin and the so-called manoeuvre point ...
This book provides a single comprehensive resource that reviews many of the current aircraft flight control programmes from the perspective of experienced practitioners directly involved in the projects.
Introduction to Aircraft Flight Dynamics
A textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in which Zipfel (aerospace engineering, U. of Florida) introduces the fundamentals of an approach to, or step in, design that has become a field in and of itself.
Written for those coming to the subject for the first time, the book provides a secure foundation from which to move on to more advanced topics such as, non-linear flight dynamics, flight simulation, handling qualities and advanced flight ...
