EG419

Flight Dynamics II/Stability/Control

Course DirectorySNHU EG419 has 2 direct prerequisites, with 23 courses in its complete prerequisite tree, and is required by 2 other courses.

Undergraduate · 3 credits

This is a basic course in the stability and control of aircraft which are two pre-requisites of a safe flight. The six degree-of freedom differential equations of motion are introduced, after which the linearized perturbed state equations of motion are derived. Important topics in this course are: longitudinal static and dynamic stability, stick fixed and stick free neutral points and static margin, lateral-directional static and dynamic stability, trim conditions, longitudinal-lateral-directional coupling, control and maneuverability, stick fixed and stick free maneuver points, stability and control derivatives and handling qualities and control response.
