Aircraft Flight Dynamics and Control addresses airplane flight dynamics and control in a largely classical manner, but with references to modern treatment throughout. Classical feedback control methods are illustrated with relevant examples, and current trends in control are presented by introductions to dynamic inversion and control allocation. This book covers the physical and mathematical fundamentals of aircraft flight dynamics as well as more advanced theory enabling a better insight into nonlinear dynamics. This leads to a useful introduction to automatic flight control and stability augmentation systems with discussion of the theory behind their design, and the limitations of the systems. The author provides a rigorous development of theory and derivations and illustrates the equations of motion in both scalar and matrix notation.Key features: Classical development and modern treatment of flight dynamics and controlDetailed and rigorous exposition and examples, with illustrationsPresentation of important trends in modern flight control systemsAccessible introduction to control allocation based on the author's seminal work in the fieldDevelopment of sensitivity analysis to determine the influential states in an airplane's response modesEnd of chapter problems with solutions available on an accompanying websiteWritten by an author with experience as an engineering test pilot as well as a university professor, Aircraft Flight Dynamics and Control provides the reader with a systematic development of the insights and tools necessary for further work in related fields of flight dynamics and control. It is an ideal course textbook and is also a valuable reference for many of the necessary basic formulations of the math and science underlying flight dynamics and control.

Aircraft Control Allocation An authoritative work on aircraft control allocation by its pioneers Aircraft Control Allocation addresses the problem of allocating redundant flight controls. It provides introductory material on flight dynamics and control to provide the context, and then describes in detail the geometry of the problem. The book includes a large section on solution methods, including ‘Banks’ method’, a previously unpublished procedure. Generalized inverses are also discussed at length. There is an introductory section on linear programming solutions, as well as an extensive and comprehensive appendix on linear programming formulations and solutions. Discrete-time or ‘frame-wise’ allocation is described, including rate-limiting, nonlinear data, and preferred solutions. Key features: Written by pioneers in the field of control allocationComprehensive explanation and discussion of the major control-allocation solution methodsExtensive treatment of linear programming solutions to control allocationA companion web site contains the code of a MATLAB/Simulink light simulation with modules that incorporate all of the major solution methodsIncludes examples based on actual aircraftThe book is a vital reference for researchers and practitioners working in aircraft control, as well as graduate students in aerospace engineering.
