Description

Airplane Flight Dynamics & Automatic Flight Controls, Part I, provides exhaustive coverage of the methods for analysis and synthesis of the steady state and perturbed state (open loop) stability and control of fixed wing aircraft. This widely used book has been updated with modern flying quality criteria and aerodynamic data. Throughout this text, the practical (design) applications of the theory are stressed with many examples and illustrations. Aircraft stability and control characteristics are all heavily regulated by civil as well as by military airworthiness authorities for safety reasons. The role of the these safety regulations in the application of the theory is therefore stressed throughout. Airplane Flight Dynamics & Automatic Flight Controls, Part I is an essential reference for all aeronautical engineers working in the area of stability and control, regardless of experience levels. The book minimizes reader confusion through a systematic progression of fundamentals: - General steady and perturbed state equations of motion for a rigid airplane - Concepts and use of stability & control derivatives - Physical and mathematical explanations of stability & control derivatives - Solutions and applications of the steady state equations of motion from a viewpoint of airplane analysis and emphasis on airplane trim, take-off rotation and engine-out control - Open loop transfer functions - Analysis of fundamental dynamic modes: phugoid, short period, roll, spiral and dutch roll - Equivalent stability derivatives and the relation to automatic control of unstable airplanes - Flying qualities and the Cooper-Harper scale: civil and military regulations - Extensive numerical data on stability, control and hingemoment derivatives Read more

  • Poorly Compiled but Addresses Important Topics
This book appears to have been hastily put together from sketchy classnotes. As one of the previous reviewers pointed out, I'm sure this will prove to be an immensely useful book if you also happen to be fortunate enough to be taking Dr. Roskam's course. The book does address some very important topics in aerodynamics and aircraft control theory. Unfortunately many key aspects are glossed over and the text is full of redundancies - for example, the definition of the aerodynamic center occurs at least 3 times. The same typographic font is used for both the equations and accompanying text, making the textbook very difficult to read. None of this should detract from the fact that Dr. Roskam is undoubtedly a pioneering educator in the field of modern aerodynamics and aircraft control. I sincerely hope that some of his current or former graduate students will assist him in putting forth a more comprehensible edition of this important textbook. ... show more

  • Good if you have Roskam as a teacher
Dr. Jan Roskam is a genius. He is an incredible airplane designer. Have you seen the Piaggio P-180? It's a beauty! His book is very useful if he is your teacher, but other than that it's very complex. That's probably just due to the high standards that he holds for everything. Never did I know there was so much to trim diagrams. I'm still kinda lost on them though. ... show more
