AIRCRAFT STABILITY

STABILITY AND CONTROL

Aircraft stability and control are critical aspects of aeronautical engineering, affecting the safety and performance of all flying machines. This course delves into the concepts of static and dynamic stability, control surfaces, and the mechanisms behind the stability and control of fixed-wing aircraft. You will explore the aerodynamic forces and moments that act on an aircraft, the impact of different flight conditions, and how various design choices influence stability and control. Through a combination of theoretical lessons and practical examples, you will gain a thorough understanding of how pilots and automated systems manage aircraft behavior during flight. The course is designed for aerospace engineering students, aviation professionals, and anyone interested in the intricacies of flight dynamics. By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation in the principles that keep aircraft stable and controllable, preparing you for advanced studies or professional applications in the field.
