Aircraft control and simulation / Brian L. Stevens, Frank L. Lewis - 2nd ed. - Hoboken : John Wiley & Sons, 2003 - XIII, 664 p. ; 24 cm
The study of 'aircraft control' combines the knowledge of aerodynamics with the physical systems of an aircraft to enhance the aircraft's performance under varying conditions. In order to analyze the high number of variables that come into play, numerical methods and differential equations are used to model the real world conditions. This best seller has been revised to target both the undergraduate and graduate level courses in flight mechanics and aircraft control. A new chapter has been added to the front of the book covering basic aerodynamics, aircraft configurations and static stability. Aircraft Control and Simulation Second Edition covers all aspects of analyzing aircraft performance. New, expanded coverage of aerodynamics, aircraft configurations, and static stability. Presents new and updated computer calculations using MatLab software. Provides state-of-the-art coverage of New Multi-Input, Multi-Output (MIMO) design techniques, robustness theory, and non-linear design Índice: List of Examples.Preface.1 The Kinematics and Dynamics of AircraftMotion.1.1 Introduction.1.2 Vector Kinematics.1.3 Matrix Analysis of Kinematics.1.4 Geodesy, Earth's Gravitation, Terrestrial Navigation.1.5 Rigid-Body Dynamics.1.6 Summary.2 Modeling the Aircraft.2.1 Introduction.2.2 Basic Aerodynamics.2.3 Aircraft Forces and Moments.2.4 Static Analysis.2.5 The Nonlinear Aircraft Model.2.6 Linear Models and the Stability Derivatives.2.7 Summary.3 Modeling, Design, and Simulation Tools.3.1 Introduction.3.2 State-Space Models.3.3 Transfer Function Models.3.4 Numerical Solution of the State Equations.3.5 Airc...
