When introduced to the topic of aircraft flight dynamics students discover that it is the essence of aeronautical engineering because it involves the study of the motion―the flight―of the vehicle. This motion defines the vehicle's performance, a topic of enormous significance to the ultimate success of the machine. Flight dynamics is a study of the complete vehicle, rather than just a component of a vehicle. Hence, it is fundamentally the study of a multicomponent system and its dynamics and control. Modern Flight Dynamics is a result of the author's 30-years of experience in teaching flight dynamics, plus his years of experience as a practitioner and researcher in the field. This book can serve as the text for a two-course or three-course sequence in modern flight dynamics: the first an undergraduate course, the second two at the graduate level. Other course usage is also possible. The book was written with the assumption that the student has mastered basic dynamics and has some exposure to classical control theory prior to beginning this course sequence. A previous course in aerodynamics would be helpful but could be taken concurrently. In addition to its use as a textbook, Modern Flight Dynamics is a useful reference for the practicing engineer and researcher, with many practical examples―some involving the use of MATLAB.

Acerca del autor

David Schmidt was born in Lafayette, Indiana, and attended Purdue University where he received the B. S. degree, cum laude, in Aeronautical Engineering. He later received the M. S. degree from the University of Southern California and the Ph.D. from Purdue, both in aerospace engineering. Prior to his graduate studies he served on the technical staff of the Douglas, and then the McDonnell Douglas Missiles and Space Corporation. After fi rst supporting the Apollo program in the development of the Saturn booster, he became Engineering Lead in a preliminary vehicle-design group of the Advanced Systems and Technology Division. Upon completion of his graduate education, he served on the technical staff of the Stanford Research Institute, focusing on research in systems analysis and optimization of air transportation systems. Dr. Schmidt's academic career began when he joined the faculty of the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue, where he served as professor of aeronautics and astronautics for 14 years. He then joined the faculty of Arizona State University, where he served as professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering for six years. He later moved to the University of Maryland at College Park, where he served as professor of aerospace engineering for an additional six years. Lastly, he was invited to join the faculty at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, where he helped to establish the new Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He went on to also serve as Associate Vice Chancellor for Research and Dean of the Graduate School. He retired from the University of Colorado in 2006 and was appointed Professor Emeritus. His teaching was recognized at several of these institutions through many prestigious teaching awards. In 1997, Dr. Schmidt received the AIAA's highest honor in the fi eld of fl ight dynamics and control when he was awarded the national Mechanics and Control of Flight Award. He is a fellow of the AIAA.
