Flight dynamics examines the forces and moments that govern the motion of vehicles through air and, by extension, other fluids. At its core lie the equations of motion formulated in body-fixed axes, ...
Nonlinear flight dynamics encompasses the study of aircraft and spacecraft motion when aerodynamic, structural and inertial forces interact in a non-proportional manner, generating phenomena such as ...
The development of future aircraft requires new modelling methods and the consideration of effects that have played a subordinate role in previous conventional configurations. These include, for ...
