About The Book
Dynamics of Atmospheric Flight is an advanced, comprehensive study designed for upper-level undergraduate and graduate students, as well as practicing engineers. Authored by Bernard Etkin, this book offers a detailed exploration of the dynamics of atmospheric flight, with a special emphasis on the stability and control of airplanes.
The text covers a wide range of topics, including small takeoff and landing (STOL) airplanes, subsonic jet transports, hypersonic flight, stability augmentation, and the influence of wind and density gradients. It provides an in-depth analysis of the equations of motion, including the effects of Earth curvature and rotation, and distortional motion.
The book also features chapters dedicated to human pilots and handling qualities, as well as flight in turbulence, providing numerical examples based on a jet transport model. Key topics like small-perturbation equations for both longitudinal and lateral motion are explained in convenient matrix forms, employing both time-domain and Laplace transforms, along with dimensional and nondimensional analysis.
This well-rounded resource is ideal for students, researchers, and engineers looking for a thorough understanding of atmospheric flight dynamics.
