Flight Management System 1

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Control Engineering

Synopsis:

The overview and classification according to various criteria of flight management system is presented. Next theme is devoted to the aircraft dynamics derivation and their linearisation, followed by outer and states spaced description of longitudinal and lateral-directional aircraft motion. Then follow automatic flight systems-autopilot, their structure and design, for longitudinal and lateral-directional aircraft motion separately.
