Aeronautical engineers concerned with the analysis of aircraft dynamics and the synthesis of aircraft flight control systems will find an indispensable tool in this analytical treatment of the subject. Approaching these two fields with the conviction that an understanding of either one can illuminate the other, the authors have summarized selected, interconnected techniques that facilitate a high level of insight into the essence of complex systems problems. These techniques are suitable for establishing nominal system designs, for forecasting off-nominal problems, and for diagnosing the root causes of problems that almost inevitably occur in the design process. A complete and self-contained work, the text discusses the early history of aircraft dynamics and control, mathematical models of linear system elements, feedback system analysis, vehicle equations of motion, longitudinal and lateral dynamics, and elementary longitudinal and lateral feedback control. The discussion concludes with such topics as the system design process, inputs and system performance assessment, and multi-loop flight control systems.
Originally published in 1974.

Store description
As a dedicated aviation specialist (Luftfahrtfachkraft), I am now parting with my extensive private aviation reference library. A significant portion of this unique collection was acquired from the official corporate reference library of a leading European aircraft manufacturer. This carefully curated catalog consists of approximately 2,000 specialized aviation books, technical manuals, historical records, and rare publications accumulated over decades of industry history. I am constantly listing new titles from this vast collection, so the inventory will be updated continuously. Whether you are a fellow aerospace professional, a pilot, a historian, or an aviation enthusiast, you are sure to find rare insights and high-quality references here. Thank you for visiting, and clear skies ahead!…
