Description

Scope: A complete reference on modern flight control methods for fixed wing aircraft, this authoritative book includes contributions from an international group of experts in their respective specialised fields. Split into two parts, the first section of the book deals with the fundamentals of flight control systems design, whilst the second concentrates on genuine applications based on modern control methods used in the latest aircraft.

Book review

"....a book which aerospace professionals should find to be informative and enjoyable." The Aeronautical Journal, July 2000

"A most distinguishing feature of a distinguished book is its outstanding success in fulfilling its prime aim of bridging the gap between academic research and real-world applications in the area, and its emphasis on practical approaches that makes it particularly suitable for practising engineers who are relatively new in the aviation industry and require a consolidated approach to the different aspects of flight control.

In short, the clarity and practicality of the book will be of great assistance to all engineers with an interest in flight control. Postgraduate students in strategic or applied research and final stage undergraduates will also find it an extremely useful reference text." Current Engineering Practice, Vol. 43, Nos. 2-3, 2000.
