Summary:

This text presents the principles of dynamics and control for vertical, short take-off landing (V/STOL) aircraft. It is intended for graduate students and professionals in aeronautics who have knowledge of linear systems analysis, aircraft static and dynamic stability and control.

Contents:

Representative operations of V/STOL aircraft

Control strategy and desired control characteristics

Equations of motion for Hover and forward flight

Longitudinal flying qualities in Hover

Lateral-directional flying qualities in Hover

Longitudinal flying qualities in forward flight

Lateral-directional flying qualities in forward flight

Response to wind and turbulence

Control augmentation and cockpit displays

Aircraft stability derivatives.
