Textbook in PDF format

Elementary Flight Dynamics with an Introduction to Bifurcation and Continuation Methods, Second Edition is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students of aerospace and mechanical engineering.
The book uses an optimal mix of physical insight and mathematical presentation to illustrate the core concepts of professional aircraft flight dynamics. An updated version of the aerodynamic model is presented with the corrected definition of rate (dynamic) derivatives, supported with examples of real-life airplanes and related data and by open-source computational tools. It introduces bifurcation and continuation methods as a tool for flight dynamic analysis.
FEATURES
Covers an up-to-date, corrected, ‘clean’ presentation of the elements of flight dynamics
Presents a blend of theory, practice and application with real-life practical examples
Provides a unique viewpoint of applied aerodynamicists and aircraft designers
Introduces bifurcation and continuation methods as a tool for flight dynamics analysis
Includes a computational tool with real-life examples carried throughout the chapters
The book is enriched with case studies of flight dynamics of a bird’s flight, of a six-seater rigid-wing airplane from a design perspective, and airship dynamics to highlight the modal behaviour of similar-looking vehicles that are distinct from each other
