Description

The second edition of Flight Stability and Automatic Control presents an organized introduction to the useful and relevant topics necessary for a flight stability and controls course. Not only is this text presented at the appropriate mathematical level, it also features standard terminology and nomenclature, along with expanded coverage of classical control theory, autopilot designs, and modern control theory. Through the use of extensive examples, problems, and historical notes, author Robert Nelson develops a concise and vital text for aircraft flight stability and control or flight dynamics courses.

    • Just as advertised
Item arrived earlier than expected and in "very good" condition as advertised. Book shows minor signs of wear on the cover but the binding is intact, pages are mostly free of markings but not torn or damaged in any other way. Very pleased with the condition and early arrival. Very much recommended.

    • India Edition uses very thin paper
This edition was published in India and was printed on very thin paper. The paper is about 1/2 as thick as normal paper and so thin that the printing on the back of the page shows through. Very annoying. Also the font is smaller than normal as well. Be careful with getting non US editions. I wish sellers would be more up front about the differences between the different editions. Although the book was advertised as new and it came in perfect shape. ... show more

    • Excellent Textbook
Very well-written and organized. Reviews material and breaks down steps as needed, without being to simplistic. Lots of good examples too.

    • Good Fundamentals Book by a Talented Writer
This is an excellent book for the modern fundamentals of aircraft control design. Most subjects are clearly treated with just the right amount of illustrations and examples. The author makes good effort of explaining procedures without resorting to function calls from some software package. The last of the book devotes relatively little space to modern control theory. I would hope this talented writer would create something more advanced in the future that would expand on his treatment of the state observer and the use of the cost function. ... show more

    • A lot of info on aircraft control in a small textbook.
I found this textbook to include a large amount of concisely presented material on all aspects of aircraft stability and control and feedback control system design. It covers everything from the atmosphere, to development of forces and moments and equations of motion, to estimation of stability derivatives, analysis of dynamics and modes of motion, and handy reduced degrees of freedom. It also includes many examples of designing autopilots and stability augmentation systems. I really liked the examples which included both classical and state variable methods. Each chapter also has several interesting example problems. I would recommend this text for anyone in the field of aircraft or missile flight controls. The only dissappointing aspect of the text is what I consider an excessive number of typographical errors. I would caution anyone not to use the equations or formulas without first checking the derivation. The derivations are clear and concise enough that the reader should be able to find these errors. ... show more
