Mechanics of Flight II flight characteristics

Course guarantor:

Lecturer:

Tutor:

Supervisor:

Department of Aerospace Engineering

Synopsis:

The course is focused on the fundaments of the flight dynamics, i.e. stability and controllability. It is focused on the principal phenomena of the flight dynamics. The approach is based on simplified linearized relations that enable division of complex problems into more easily handled subproblems. Mathematic relations are interconnected with explanations of physical reasoning.

Requirements:

Syllabus of lectures:
