Modern Flight Dynamics

Modern Flight Dynamics by Schmidt, David. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780073398112.

This book is written primarily as a textbook, but with todays extensive military emphasis on unmanned flight drones and highly maneuverable vehicles, practicing aerospace engineers in the industry, as well as electrical engineers working in flight controls, will find this book a valuable reference. The field of flight dynamics has evolved considerably, and is still evolving in large part because of the prevalence of feedback control systems that now dominate the dynamic response of most new aircraft. Thus, in addition to a thorough and readable treatment of more conventional topics, this book provides a much more rigorous emphasis on dynamics coupled with extensive linear-system analysis to meet the needs of todays engineers and designers
