Advanced Flight Dynamics With Elements Of Flight Control (Pb 2017) Paperback

Advanced Flight Dynamics integrates the topics of aircraft performance, trim, stability, and control in a cohesive manner. The book takes three distinct approaches: First, it builds upon the corrected aerodynamic modeling presented in the authors' previous work on Elementary Flight Dynamics. Second, it incorporates bifurcation and continuation theory, particularly the Extended Bifurcation Analysis (EBA) procedure, to unify aircraft performance, trim, stability, and flight control. Third, the book employs the generalized Nonlinear Dynamic Inversion (NDI) methodology instead of focusing on just one control design tool to explain the core principles of flight control. It covers standard airplane mane
