Course Objectives • To teach basics of flight stability and control of aircrafts. is one of a basic necessary courses for teaching of an aeronautical engineering students.
• To integrate knowledge from Aerodynamics, Flight Mechanics and Automatic Control courses towards aircraft stability and control.
• To enable students to analyze flying and handling characteristics of aircrafts and to design automatic flight control systems using MATLAB and SIMULINK.
Course Description Basic definitions of flight mechanics, control and control surfaces. General structure of flight control systems. Aircraft static and dynamic stability and stability derivatives. Static longitudinal and lateral stability. Aircraft longitudinal and lateral dynamic equations. Nonlinear dynamic equations. Linearization of equations. Longitudinal and lateral transfer functions. Longitudinal modes of motion. Short and long period approximation. Transient response of aircraft dynamic. Basic concepts of aircraft control systems. Types of autopilot, autopilot design, design of displacement autopilot by the Root Locus method. Inner and outer loop concepts. Pitch orientational control system. Root locus analysis. Acceleration control system. MATLAB-SIMULINK simulation of aircraft autopilots.
