Flight mechanics has assumed greater importance in today's design, development, analysis, and evaluation of aerospace vehicles. Using a systems approach to illustrate key topics, this book reviews the basics of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, applying these concepts to the real-world testing, analysis and evaluation of flight systems. Simulation examples rely on MATLAB and SIMULINK methods, and fuzzy logic and neural applications are presented for flight mechanics. The text addresses such areas as parameter estimation, flight simulation, flight testing and aircraft system identification using an interdisciplinary approach that combines elements of linear algebra and matrix computation.
