Description

This book supplies the engineering background required to understand the flying qualities of today's fixed wing aircraft, and lays the essential groundwork for control law designers. The book leads from the full mathematical model of the airframe to the linear models that are useful for insight and for control law design, and discusses the more common flying qualities criteria.
