FLIGHT MECHANICS

Catalog description

Performance, stability, and control of airplanes. General equations of motion for rigid aircrafts, aerodynamic forces and moments, quasi -steady and non -steady flight paths. Generalized performance methods and flight envelopes. Small disturbance theory, sta bility derivatives, longitudinal and lateral static stability. Basic airplane motion, response to control actions and to atmosphere disturbances. Simulation of aircraft performance and dynamics.
