In this two-part textbook, metbods are presented for analysis and syntbesis of tbe steady state and perturbed state (open and closed loop) stability and control of fixed wing aircraft. Part I contains Chapters 1-6 and Appendices A-D. Part II contains Chapters 7-12 as well as Appendix E. The book is aimed at junior, senior and first level graduate students of aeronautical engineering. Aeronautical engineers working in tbe aircraft industry will also fmd this book useful. Throughout this text tbe practical (design) applications of tbe tbeory• are stressed witb.many examples. Aircraft stability and control characteristics are all heavily regulated by civil as well as by military airworthiness autboritielil for reasons of safety. The role of tbese safety regulations in tbe application of tbe tbeOry ... is tberefore stressed throughout. .. " Many of tbe examples used to illustrate tbe application of tbe tbeory were generated witb tbe help of a.computer program called: AAA (Advanced Aircraft Analysis). This program is compatible witb most Apollo, Sun, Silicon Graphics, mM and DEC work-stations as well as witb certain types of personal computers. The AAA program can be purchased from DARCorporation, 120 East Nintb Street, Suite 2, Lawrence, Kansas 66044, USA. In Chapter 1 tbe general equations of motion are developed for a rigid airplane. These equations are tben specialized into sets which apply to steady state and perturbed state flight conditions respectively. Before these equations can be used to help in tbeanalysis and design of airplanes it is necessary to develop malhemati~al models for tbe aerodynamic and thrust forces and moments which act on an airplane. Chapter 2 provides an overview of aerodynamic fundamentals needed to understand and use aerodynamic force and moment models. Several important properties of airfoils and lifting surfaces are reviewed. The effect of tbe fuselage on aerodynamic center is discussed and some fundamental aspects of control surface and flap characteristics are covered. The actual modelling of aerodynamic and tbrust forces and moments is discussed in Chapter
