Sinopsis

More than 100 illustrations and a five-program software package are combined in Computational Flight Dynamics, a detailed instructional kit illustrating digital solutions to problems in aircraft dynamic stability, control and flight performance. Busy aerospace engineers, scientists and graduate students with a working knowledge of FORTRAN will learn - in a step-by-step format - several effective programming techniques in a range of flight dynamics areas. Of the five programmes included, FLIGHT and LOCUS - both previously used in flight control system designs for two production unmanned air vehicles - provide the necessary tools for studying uncontrolled aircraft motions, stability and the design of automatic flight control systems. A DOS or Windows environment is required for the FORTRAN programmes included on the 3.5-inch diskette, which contains source programmes, run (input) files and database files. Access to a compiler for FORTRAN 77 or 90 is also necessary.
