Description: MAE 331 is designed to introduce students to the performance, stability, and control of aircraft ranging from micro-uninhabited air vehicles through general aviation, jet transport, and fighter aircraft to Mars planes and re-entry vehicles. Particular attention is given to mathematical models and techniques for analysis, simulation, and evaluation of flying qualities, with brief discussion of guidance, navigation, and control. Topics include equations of motion, configuration aerodynamics, analysis of linear systems, and longitudinal/lateral/directional motions. The course is required for the aerospace engineering program, and it is accessible to all students with the necessary prerequisites (MAE 206 and 222). The site contains links to a number of resources related to flight dynamics including computer simulations. Keywords: dynamics, motion, rigid body
