DINAMICS OF FLIGHT

Course objectives

Aircraft Flight Dynamics describes the science and mathematics of aircraft motion in a three-dimensional space and links the aerodynamic, propulsion and structural sciences with the applied technologies of systems and avionics. Specific learning objectives: - Understanding the dynamics and control of aircraft with respect to design requirements - Ability to calculate, having understood the physical sense, the stability and control derivatives from the geometric and aerodynamic parameters of the plane - Understanding how and being able to use the mathematical description of the rigid body of aircraft - Ability to determine and understand the stability and control response characteristics of aircraft - Demonstrating of teamwork ability - Ability to solve problems with computational tools through knowledge, application and development of software codes and/or modern flight simulation codes.
