About the course
Aim
The purpose of the course is to provide the student with a basic ability to model and analyze the motion of an airplane, particularly with regard to stability characteristics. After the course the student should be able to:
- Implement models for the motion of an aeroplane in terms of nonlinear differential equations, linear differential equations or transfer functions on a computer.
- Explain differences in computed results in terms of differences in the models used.
- Use criteria for flying qualities formulated in terms of the eigenvalues of the linearized model.
- Describe the classical eigenmodes of an aeroplane.
Content
Modelling of aerodynamic forces using stability derivatives, rigid body dynamics in three dimensions, equations of motion for an aeroplane and the linearization of these, classical eigenmodes of aeroplane motion, dynamic stability, rate gyros, control systems.
