Learning outcomes |
- To know how to model and analyze the flight Dynamics of aerial vehicles;
- To know how to design flight controllers for attitude stabilization and flying quality improvement.
The skills that are expected from the knowledge gained in this course unit are:
- To be able to model the flight dynamics of an aircraft either in the design phase, or in the operation phase;
- To be able to design flight controllers based on handling qualities requirements;
- To be able to contribute effectively in research projects related to flight dynamics and control.
