Overview

Master the principles of flight dynamics, performance, stability, and control with this comprehensive and self-contained textbook. A strong focus on analytical rigor, balancing theoretical derivations and case studies, equips students with a firm understanding of the links between formulae and results. Over 130 step-by-step examples and 130 end-of-chapter problems cement student understanding, with solutions available to instructors. Computational Matlab code is provided for all examples, enabling students to acquire hands-on understanding, and over 200 ground-up diagrams, from simple “paper plane” models through to real-world examples, draw from leading commercial aircraft. Introducing fundamental principles and advanced concepts within the same conceptual framework, and drawing on the author's over 20 years of teaching in the field, this textbook is ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate-level students across aerospace engineering.
