Timeline 28 September– 01 January : Lectures 11 January - 22 January : Finals
Prerequisites Students are required to have a working knowledge of · Engineering Mathematics (Differential Calculus) · Linear Algebra · Aerodynamics · Dynamics · Introductory level controls · Matlab & Simulink
Textbooks Almost all the lectures will cover parts of the first two books exclusively
· Flight Stability and Control, Robert C. Nelson, 1998 ISBN : 0-07-115838-3 : This text is available as an e-book from the library! · Performance, Stability, Dynamics and Control of Airplanes, Bandu N. Pamadi, 2004 ISBN :1-56347-538-9 · Aircraft Control and Simulation, Brian L.Stevens, Frank L. Lewis, 2003, Second Edition, ISBN: 0-471-37145-9 · Automatic Flight Control Systems, Donald McLean, 1990, ISBN : 0-13-054008-0
References In addition to the textbooks, the below books are going to be used through out the lectures for discussions, case studies, illustrations and examples : · Engineering Analysis of Flight Vehicles, Holt Ashley · Dynamics of Flight - Stability and Control, Bernard Etkin, Lloyd Du® Reid · Introduction to Avionics, R. P. G. Collinson · Automatic Flight Control, E. H. J. Fallett, Shawn Coyle · Automatic Control of Aircraft and Missiles, John H. Blakelock · Airplane Stability and Control, Malcolm J. Abzug, E. Eugene Larrabee
Lectures Outline · Review of Basic Aerodynamic Principles and Aircraft Flight Mechanics (3 lectures) · Static Stability and Control (3 lectures) Modeling the Aircraft : Aircraft Equations of Motion(3 lectures) · Fundamental Notions of Longitudinal and Lateral Stability and Control in Aircraft (4 lectures) · Aircraft Dynamics and Classical Control Design (2 lectures)
Grading Midterm 1,2 : % 40 Final : %40 Homework (min. 4) : %20
Lecture & Grading Policy · 10 minute grace period for 9am lecture, if you arrive later than this period you can always join the next class hour.
· Usual lecture format : 8:30-9:20; 9:30-10:20; 10:30-11:20 (the last lecture hour is going to be usually a problem-solution session taught by the TA.)
· Homeworks are due on the date given on the assignment.
· It is OK (even encouraged) to discuss problems, but not the solutions.
· Late HW policy: 3 day grace period for which you will receive %50 credit and this will be reduced %50 at each day after the 3 day grace period.
· Every kind of cheating is awarded with zero. |
