This book brings the tools required to write a flight simulation mathematical model together in one comprehensive reference. Twenty-two chapters comprise the main body of the text. Each chapter builds on the lessons of the previous chapter and lays the foundation for the chapter. The appendices supply the building material. Dedicated chapters on the aerodynamics and dynamics of fuselages, wings, propellers, rotors, landing gear, engines, drive trains,...

"This book presents a novel approach to tackle the gust alleviation problem. Traditional approaches typically attempt to suppress the structural response at discrete points of the wing using only the conventional control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder), resulting in limited control authority, high-bandwidth actuator requirements, and necessity of gust field measurements ahead of the aircraft. In this book, the authors directly address the spanwise...
