Based on 25 Years of Aircraft Flight Mechanics Teaching at the U.S. Air Force AcademyIntroduction to Aircraft Flight Mechanics, Second Edition revises and expands this acclaimed, widely adopted textbook. Outstanding for use in undergraduate aeronautical engineering curricula, it is written for those first encountering the topic by clearly explaining the concepts and derivations of equations involved in aircraft flight mechanics. It begins with a review of basic aerodynamics and propulsion and continues through aircraft performance, equations of motion, static stability, linearizing equations of motion, dynamic stability, classical feedback control, stability and control augmentation, Bode, state space, and special topics. The second edition also features insights about the A-10 based upon the authorâ€{u3823}areer experience with this aircraft.Table of Contents:Chapter 1 - A Review of Basic AerodynamicsChapter 2 - A Review of Basic PropulsionChapter 3 - Aircraft PerformanceChapter 4 - Aircraft Equations of MotionChapter 5 - Aircraft Static StabilityChapter 6 - Linearizing the Equations of MotionChapter 7 - Aircraft Dynamic StabilityChapter 8 - Classical Feedback ControlChapter 9 - Aircraft Stability and Control AugmentationChapter 10 â€{u00AF}de, State Space, and Special TopicsChapter 11 - A-10 InsightsAppendix A - ConversionsAppendix B - Properties of the U.S. Standard AtmosphereAppendix C - Airfoil DataAppendix D - T-38 Performance DataAppendix E - Selected Laplace TransformsAppendix F - Cramer's RuleAppendix G - Development of Longitudinal and Lateral-Directional Transfer FunctionsAppendix H - Stability Characteristics of Selected AircraftPast winner of the AIAA Summerfield Book Award, this text contributes greatly to learning the fundamental principles of flight mechanics that are a crucial foundation of any aeronautical engineering curricula. It contains both real world applications and problems. A solutions manual is available to instructors by contacting AIAA.
