Experimental aspects of aerospace systems and control, introduction to sensors and actuators, experimental modeling using step response and system time constant, transfer function analysis, positive and negative feedback, gain and stability, velocity feedback, closed loop position and speed control and comprehensive experimental analysis of PID controllers. Laboratory experiments related to flight dynamics, demonstration and familiarization with basic components of flight demonstration wind tunnel for performance stability (neutral point location and trim curves).
