By: Hodgkinson, John, MSMaterial type: TextTextSeries: AIAA education seriesPublication details: Reston, VA ; Osney Mead, Oxford, U.K. : American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics : Blackwell Scientific, 1998. ISBN: 1563473313; 0632038160Subject(s): Airplanes -- Handling characteristicsDDC classification: 629.1325 LOC classification: TL671.4
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Fundamentals -- 3. Longitudinal Static Stability -- 4. Longitudinal Dynamic Handling Qualities Prediction -- 5. Lateral-Directional Flying Qualities Prediction -- 6. Pilot-in-the-Loop Analysis -- 7. Stability and Control Augmentation Systems -- 8. Conducting a Pilot-in-the-Loop Simulation -- 9. High-Angle-of-Attack Flying Qualities -- App. A. The Aircraft Equations of Motion -- App. B. Aerodynamic Forces and Moments -- App. C. Estimating Parameters -- App. D. Methods of Analysis -- App. E. Examples.
Review: "This book provides a readable introduction to handling qualities, the combination of pilot acceptability and piloted performance with stability and control. It adopts the analytical and qualitative standpoints needed for handling qualities analysis and design of fixed-wing aircraft. Although there are several texts on stability and control, until now none has provided insight into the piloting concerns that have affected the success of recent fly-by-wire aircraft developments."--BOOK JACKET.
