This book provides a comprehensive and integrated exposure to airplane performance, stability, dynamics, and
flight control. The text supports a two-semester course for senior undergraduate or first-year graduate students
in aerospace engineering. Basic aerodynamics, dynamics, and linear control systems are presented to help the reader
grasp the main subject matter. In this text, the airplane is assumed to be a rigid bodyñ-elastic deformations
and their effects on airplane motion are not considered. Numerous solved examples illustrate theory and design
methods. Several exercise problems with answers are included in each chapter to help the reader acquire problem-solving
skills. In addition, MATLABÆ tools are used for the control design.
In the second edition, lists of symbols/nomenclature and tables of important formaulas are included to facilitate
the reader.
