Book Description

Nonlinear problems in flight control have stimulated cooperation among engineers and scientists from a range of disciplines. Developments in computer technology allowed for numerical solutions of nonlinear control problems, while industrial recognition and applications of nonlinear mathematical models in solving technological problems is increasing.

The aim of the book Advances in Flight Control Systems is to bring together reputable researchers from different countries in order to provide a comprehensive coverage of advanced and modern topics in flight control not yet reflected by other books. This product comprises 14 contributions submitted by 38 authors from 11 different countries and areas.

It covers most of the currents main streams of flight control researches, ranging from adaptive flight control mechanism, fault tolerant flight control, acceleration based flight control, helicopter flight control, comparison of flight control systems and fundamentals. According to these themes the contributions are grouped in six categories, corresponding to six parts of the book.

• Flight Control Systems: Practical Issues In Design And Implementation (Roger W. Pratt)

• The Vortex and the Jet: Beauty and Mystery of Flight

  This open access book is an introduction for the lay reader to understand the basics of flight. It gives great introduction to the inner working of the modern jet engine and explains the airflow phenomena in plain language.

• Flight Physics - Models, Techniques and Technologies (K. Volkov)

  Focuses on the synthesis of the fundamental disciplines and practical applications involved in the investigation, description, and analysis of aircraft flight including applied aerodynamics, aircraft propulsion, flight performance, stability, and control.

• Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering (Manuel Soler)

  The book is divided into three parts, namely: Introduction, The Aircraft, and Air Transportation, Airports, and Air Navigation, applying theoretical knowledge to solve practical cases using academic and industrial software, such as Python and XFLR5.

• Bayesian Methods in the Search for MH370 (Samuel Davey, et al.)

  This book demonstrates how nonlinear/non-Gaussian Bayesian time series estimation methods were used to produce a probability distribution of potential MH370 flight paths, which was used to define the search zone in the southern Indian Ocean.

• Aerospace Engineering Design Optimization (J. R. Martins, et al)

  The philosophy of this book is to provide a detailed enough explanation and analysis of optimization methods so that readers can implement a basic working version. Practical tips are included for common issues encountered in practical engineering design optimization.

• Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA, David Soucie)

  This book is a great study guide for current pilots and for potential pilots who are interested in applying for their first license. It provides information on every topic needed to qualify for and excel in the field of aviation.

• Commercial Aviation 101 (Greg Gayden)

  This book is an in-depth look at the ins and outs of the commercial aviation industry as it stands today. Tt will help the reader understand the policies and procedures that have been established to keep the skies of our nation safe.

• Modeling Flight (Joseph R. Chambers)

  It describes the issues that must be considered when transferring subscale results to full-scale application, focuses on the applications of the techniques to generic configurations for general research as well as to specific aircraft and spacecraft configurations.

• Flight Simulation Books (Kevin Savetz, et al)
