— Control Design
e Required Textbook: Stevens, B., and Lewis, F.,
Aircraft Control and Simulation, 2nd Edition, J.
Wiley & Sons, 2004 (SL)
e MATLAB programming
e Undergraduate Flight Dynamics and Control
(FDC)
— Materials familiar
— Greater depth or level of abstraction
— Emphasis on theory and math
— Advance on MATLAB programming
— More challenge if no undergraduate FDC
e A small aircraft model or toy helpful (allowed in
exams)4 Vector Kinematics
4.1 Intro
e Frame of Reference
— Frame subscript: lower case
— Point subscript: upper case
e Inertial Frame: E = m ae
— Neither accelerating nor rotating
— Strictly, none exists; Some seem close
- Newtonian mechanics only valid in an inertial
frame
e Vector
- Ordered array of numbers; Any length
(dimension)
- 3D vector for Newtonian mechanics in
Euclidean space
— Notation: with an over-arrow
e Coordinates: Actual measures used to describe
vector (frames)3 Equations of Motion (EOM)
¢ Equation of Motion will be of the form
