Overview

"Flight Vehicle Dynamics and Control is a comprehensive textbook which presents aircraft and spacecraft dynamics and control in one unified treatment. It covers thefundamental topics in the dynamics and control of various flight vehicles, including wing, rotary wing atmospheric vehicles, as well as space vehicles including spacecraft, missiles and launch vehicles. It begins with derivation of the equations and the application of these to aircraft and spacecraft cases, before covering the essentials of aircraft and spacecraft dynamics. An introduction to state space and transfer function description of dynamic systems is also presented. Finally flight vehicle control systems design is covered with illustrative examples of application to aircraft and spacecraft control systems design. Worked examples and end of chapter problems are also included with a solutions manual available on a companion website"--  Read more...
