Flight mechanics has assumed greater importance in today’s design, development, analysis, and evaluation of aerospace vehicles. Using a systems approach toillustrate key topics, this book reviews the basics of aerodynamics and control theory, applying these concepts to the real-world design, testing, and analysis of flight systems. Simulation examples rely on MATLAB and SIMULINK methods, and fuzzy logic and neural applications are presented for flight mechanics.The text addresses such areas as parameter estimation, flight control laws, and aircraft system identification using an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of linear algebra and matrix computation. INDICE: Introduction. Mathematical Model Building. Equations of Motion. Aerodynamic Derivatives and Models. Simplification of Equations of Motion and Transfer Function Analysis. Simulation of Flight Dynamics. Flight Test Maneuversand Flight Database Management. System Identification and Parameter Estimation. Handling Qualities Analysis.
