The structure and function of aircraft control systems. Analysis will introduce discrete-time control theory, thus extending abilities to tackle stability and control as affected by discrete and continuous atmospheric disturbances. Certain problems associated with highly manoeuvrable aircraft at high angles of attack will be discussed, as will the special constraints on the flight envelope imposed by aeroelastic phenomena.
The aim of this unit is to bring together elements of flight dynamics and control theory into the context of aircraft design and response. Upon successful completion of the unit the student will be in a position to:
