This title simultaneously accessible to undergraduate students and suitable for first-
year graduate students. It is also cited frequently in aerospace literature and is used
a professional reference.
Since the publication of the Second Edition there has been a surge of interest in
small, Unmanned Aircraft (UAVs), and there have been advances in “Intelligent”
Control (Neural and Adaptive Control, and also control of Nonlinear Dynamic
Systems). The third edition will introduce two new chapters on this topic, written by
new co-author, Professor Eric N. Johnson of the Georgia Institute of Technology,
who is a researcher and expert in this field.
The Wiley Advantage
• Updated throughout to offer comprehensive coverage of flight control
systems, flight dynamics, aircraft modeling, and flight simulation; based on
both classical design and modern techniques
• Features detailed control design and simulation examples, including relevant
MATLAB calculations and FORTRAN code
• Offers two new chapters that cover modeling and simulation of Unmanned
Aerial Vehicles and adaptive control for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
• Supplementary materials includes related chapter problems and instructor's
solution manual
New To This Program
Aircraft Control and Simulation: Dynamics, Controls Design, and Autonomous
Systems, Third Edition is a comprehensive guide to aircraft control and simulation.
This updated text covers flight control systems, flight dynamics, aircraft modeling,
and flight simulation from both classical design and modern perspectives, as well
as two new chapters on the modeling, simulation, and adaptive control of
unmanned aerial vehicles. With detailed examples, including relevant MATLAB
calculations and FORTRAN codes, this approachable yet detailed reference also
provides access to supplementary materials, including chapter problems and an
instructor's solution manual.
• Explore a steadily progressing list of topics, including equations of motion
and aerodynamics, classical controls, and more advanced control
methods
• Consider detailed control design examples using computer numerical
tools and simulation examples
• Understand control design methods as they are applied to aircraft
nonlinear math models
• Access updated content about unmanned aircraft (UAVs)
