Aircraft Dynamics, Modelling & Simulation

This book is an introduction to aircraft flight dynamics. A lot of intelligent control techniques for the control of aircraft are developed and this topic has gained rapid advancement in aerospace science and technology. The purpose of this book is to review basis principles of flying, basic control surfaces of aircraft, forces acting on aircraft and discusses various control strategies for controlling basic movements of aircraft, and provides simulation results for each control method. The simulations are performed in MATLAB 2014a, and it depicts the behavior of system as it would do in real conditions. This book is intended primararly for the engineering students who want to carry out research work in related field and get an idea to explore and carry out further work and contribute to this section of work. They may suggest any problem if found.
