directional stability and control
Identify the aircraft rigid body dynamic equations of motion
Linearize the aircraft rigid body dynamic equations of motion
Predict the longitudinal motions in stick-fixed mode

Solve the coupled-motion linearized equations
Utilize the SIMULINK software for solution of the dynamic equations of motion

Computer Software:
MATLAB/SIMULINK

Grading and Policy:

2 Quizzes 35%
Homework 25%
Final Exam 40%
All the homework assignments are due in class on the stated due dates.
Discussions of the course work with classmates are strongly encouraged, but the
assignments must be completed independently. Copying others work (with or
without consent) is considered an act of academic dishonesty, and will be dealt
accordingly once identified.

No late homework assignments will be accepted without prior approval.
