Introduction to Experiments in Flight

Introduction to Experiments in Flight. Instructor: Prof. A. K. Ghosh, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course is designed to conduct experiments in airplane to determine different parameters. This course will also help in creating a background to design an experiment to determine a specific parameter. Topics covered include Planning of experiment, Weighment of aircraft, Cruise flight, Climbing flight, Neutral point, Maneuvering point, Lateral stability and control, Directional stability and control.
