Stability and Control of Aircraft

Stability and Control of Aircraft. Instructor: Prof. A. K. Ghosh, Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT Kanpur. This course is designed to understand stability and control aspects of an airplane. This course will also help in creating a background to design an airplane from stability and control aspects. Topics covered include Overview of aerodynamics and atmosphere, Static stability and control, Aircraft equations of motion, Linearized longitudinal dynamics, Linearized lateral dynamics, and Stability augmentation system.
