Flight Dynamics I

AE 426 - Flight Dynamics I (3-0-3)

Fundamental concepts of flight dynamics and control. Equations of motion for a rigid body aircraft, linearization/small perturbation methods, static and dynamic stability derivatives estimation, longitudinal and lateral motions and an introduction to flight control systems and automatic stabilization, satellite attitude dynamics and control, including torque free motion and attitude control thrusters.
