Dynamics of Flight

Prepares aeronautical engineers to face new and challenging situations with confidence by providing them with the necessary knowledge to keep pace with the state of flight mechanics. This book emphasizes the basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques, and typical stability and control realities.

Informationen zum Autor Bernard Etkin, CM FRSC was a Canadian academic and one of the world's recognized authorities on aircraft guidance and control. Lloyd Duff Reid is the author of Dynamics of Flight: Stability and Control, 3rd Edition, published by Wiley. Klappentext Designed to prepare students to become aeronautical engineers who can face new and challenging situations. Retaining the same philosophy as the two preceding editions, this update emphasizes basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques along with typical stability and control realities. This edition features a full set of exercises and a complete Solution's Manual. In keeping with current industry practice, flight equations are presented in dimensional state-vector form. The chapter on closed-loop control has been greatly expanded with details on automatic flight control systems. Uses a real jet transport (the Boeing 747) for many numerical and worked-out examples.
