MAE 4183 Aircraft Stability & Control

The linearized equations of motion for atmospheric flight are developed. Longitudinal and lateral motions of the airplane are studied with particular emphasis on the phugoid, short-period, dutch-roll, and spiral motions. Static stability and control requirements for airplane design are considered. Prerequisite: MA 233, MAE 473, MAE 4023
