Pamadi represents a novel approach of teaching an aeronautical engincering course a3 a comprehensive and integrated exposure to several interrelated disciplines. The text reflects many years of teaching experience of the author and his consul- ting work as a senior research engineer with NASA Langley Research Center. It contains all the necessary background material on aerodynamics, dynamics, and control systems, discussing the fundamental principles with the use of sketches, solved examples, and design exercises. It takes the reader from the early days of the Wright Brothers to the modern era of combat aircraft flying at poststall angles of attack, Chapters 1 through 3 present basic principles of aerodynamics, aircraft perfor mance, and static equilibrium and control in steady flight. ‘Chapter 4 deals with aircraft dynamics and decoupled equations for longitudinal and lateral motion, and it introduces the concept of stability derivatives. Chapter 5 discusses design of stability augmentation systems and autopilots. Chapter 6 discusses aircraft res- ponse and methods of closed-loop control of aircraft, while Chapters 7 and 8 dis- cuss problems of inertial coupling, aircraft spin, and high angle of attack. A useful feature of the text is the inclusion of solved examples presented to illustrate the theory and basic principles involved. ‘The Education Series of textbooks and monographs published by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics embraces a broad spectrum of theory and application of different disciplines in aeronautics and astronautics, including aerospace design practice. The series also includes texts on defense science, engi- neering, and management. The complete list of textbooks published in the series (more than 56 titles) can be found at the end of this volume. The serics serves as teaching texts as weil as reference materials for practicing engineers, scientists. and managers. d. S.

This book is intended as a text for senior undergraduate or first-year graduate students in aerospace engineering. The material presented in this book has mainly evolved from the lecture notes I used to prepare for teaching while I was at the Aerospace Engineering Department of the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Ideally, the material presented in this text could be covered in two semesters. ‘The text includes adequate background material on basic aerodynamics, dynamics, and linear control systems to help the reader grasp the main subject matter. In this text, the airplane is assumed to be a rigid body, and elastic deformations and their effects on airplane motion are not considered. Chapter 1 presents 4 brief review of basic principles of acrodynamics. The reader is also exposed to various modern concepts like supercritical airfoils, swept- forward wings, and slender delta wings. The slender delta wing represents a de- parture from the long-held doctrine of attached flow to the concept of controlled separated flow at high angles of attack. Chapter 2 discusses the subject of airplane performance starting with the simple. power-off gliding flight and covers various categories of flight in vertical and hori- zontal planes with a discussion of the conditions that optimize the local or the point performance. The limitations of the method of point performance optimization are brought to the attention of the reader. ‘The airplane is adynamic system with all six degrees of freedom. However, when itis in a steady flight with uniform speed, the principles of static equilibrium can be applied, and this forms the subject matter of Chapter 3. The discussion is focused on concepts such as longitudinal and lateral-directional stability, determination of control surface deflections for trim, hinge moments, and stick force gradients for various flight conditions, A brief discussion is included on the concept of relaxed static stability. Chapter 4 deals with airplane dynamics, starting with the derivation of equa- tions of motion and a discussion on various coordinate systems. The equations of motion are derived using the moving axes thearem, and then simplifications are introduced to obtain the well-known small disturbance, decoupled equations for the longitudinal and lateral-directional motions. The concept of stability and con- trol derivatives is introduced. Simple methods based on strip theory are presented for the evaluation of stability and control derivatives that should be helpful for understanding the physical principles involved in airplane motion. Also included is a discussion of engineering methods based on Datcom (Data Compendium) for the estimation of the stability and control derivatives. Chapter 5 presents a brief review of the linear system theory and design with an objective to provide the background material for understanding airplane response xi xi and design of stability augmentation systems and autopilots. The discussion covers the frequency domain methods like Nyquist and Bode plots, time domain methods like the root-locus, modem state-space methods, and the design of various types of compensators. . Chapter 6 discusses airplane response and methods of closed-loop control of the airplane. The longitudinal and lateral-directional stability and response to various control inputs are discussed. Also discussed briefly are the concept of handling qualities, design of various longitudinal and lateral-directional stability augmen- tation systems, and autopilots to meet the desired level of handling qualities. The problems of inertial coupling and airplane spin are discussed in Chapter 7. These are the typical examples of flight conditions where the longitudinal and lateral-directional motions of the airplane are coupled due to inertia terms in the equations of motion. The discussion includes the basic principles of inertia cou- pling, divergence in pitch or yaw, and methods of preventing inertia coupling. The discussion on spinning motion includes kinematics of spin, steady-state spin, recovery, and methods of improving spin resistance, The problems of stability and control at high angles of attack are discussed in Chapter 8. The discussion is focused on the high angle-of-attack aerodynamics of slender fuselages and delta wings, which are characteristic of modern com- bat aircraft. The discussion includes phenomena such as wing rock caused by wings and slender forebodies, methods of suppressing wing rock, directional di- vergence/departure, roll reversal, and modern concepts of forebody flow control and thrust vectoring. Effort is made to present a number of solved examples to illustrate the theory and basic principles. Also, several exercise problems are included to help the reader develop probiem-solving skills. It is hoped that this text will be useful to the students of aerospace engineering and serve as a useful reference to the practicing aerospace engineer, Lwould like to express my sincere thanks to several of my friends and colleagues whose help was of crucial importance in the preparation of the material presented in this text.

Pamadi duly 1998 1 Review of Basic Aerodynamic Principles 1.1. introduction ‘The performance, stability, and control characteristics of an airplane depend on the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on it that, in turn, depend on the shape and size of the body, the attitude of the body relative to the airstream, the density p and viscosity 44 of the air, velocity of the body Voo, and the speed of sound a in air. By a dimensional analysis, it can be shown that a number of these variables can be grouped into two important nondimensional parameters, the Reynolds number Re and the Mach number M. ‘The Reynolds number is the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces. ___nertia force ~~ Viscous force (1.1) __ Change in momentum/time ao 1 Shear stress x Area a2) a (A Veo) ay ‘We assume m= pL> (La) d 1 dt * ime o> Von =>— (1.6) av Veg OT ay where L is the characteristic dimension (length) of the body.
