Flight Dynamics
This course involves flight simulation.
A 3D flight
simulation of a general
aviation aircraft in a
rectangular coordinate system (invoking a flat earth model).
3D dynamics
is developed
Newton and
Euler equation are
developed for accelerating reference frames
Aerodynamics is
calculated in the
wind axes system
Rotations are
evaluated in the
body axes system
Equations representing motion in six degrees of
freedom are developed
The equations are integrated using MATLAB
