Modern Flight Dynamics [Schmidt] 9780071086806

• Extensive Coverage of Advanced Topics such as the rigorous development of non-linear equations of motion in coordinate frames, direction-cosine matrices for transformations among coordinate frames, plus treatment of the effects of variable mass and a rotating, spherical earth on the equations of motion are included.
• Strong Coverage of Feedback Stability Augmentation. With the evolution of today's drones and other pilotless vehicles, feedback stability is integral to the study of flight dynamics.
• Learning-Focused Organization including Just-In-Time examples, lumped-mass vibration analysis, and loop-shaping design of feedback systems. These help refresh students on material they have covered in earlier courses.
• Case Studies involving unusual aircraft, such as hypersonic vehicles, UAVs, and airships are included.
• Coupled Dynamic Elastic Effects are covered thoroughly to give the student or practitioner strong understanding of this important topic.
