DESCRIPTION:
Retaining the same philosophy as the two preceding editions, this update emphasizes basic principles rooted in the physics of flight, essential analytical techniques along with typical stability and control realities. . From the Publisher Designed to prepare students to become aeronautical engineers who can face new and challenging situations. In keeping with current industry practice, flight equations are presented in dimensional state-vector form. The chapter on closed-loop control has been greatly expanded with details on automatic flight control systems. Uses a real jet transport (the B
Dynamics of Flight: Stability and Control book has been released since 2016-04-29. Dynamics of Flight: Stability and Control are written by Bernard Etkin, Lloyd Duff Reid and it has 400 of pages on paperback.
Look for Simplicity in Flight Dynamics in this Book Muhammad A. AlMubarak Flight Dynamics is one of the most important and complicated fields in aerospace engineering. At my university KFUPM, students taking AE 426 (Flight Dynamics) are required to do 3 projects to pass the course. For these reasons, I have purchased 4 books in flight dynamics. Dynamics of Flight is one of these books that I would love to comment on in this review. Below is a list of points that summarizes my personal opinion about this book.1)Compared to other flight dynamics b. Many Things Not Well Defined. M. Dorothy This book is used for my third-year course, AerE 355-Aircraft Flight Dynamics and Control. All of my fellow classmates agree that this book leaves much to be desired. From day one, we joked, "This book is 1/3 the size of my other texts, yet twice the price every page better be pure gold." It is not gold. It leaves many things undefined or ill-defined. I have never spent more time in a book searching for useful definitions. The reason I give it two stars is because no book . Flight Controls Engineer said Flight Controls Engineer. I might have given this book a 5 star rating had this been the year 1990. Don't get me wrong, this is what I used to learn flight controls, but it does make many assumptions and takes the usual shortcuts. The first half covers all aerodynamic stability, and flight controls are relegated to the final third. It only makes use of classical design methods, which is my biggest criticism. Only a few basic autopilots are covered. This book is in serious need of an updated edition
