Summary:
Modern aerospace vehicles, such as the space shuttle, other launch
vehicles, and long-range ballistic missiles, do not discriminate
between atmospheric and space flight. Most texts on flight dynamics,
however, make this artificial distinction and therefore do not
simultaneously cover aircraft and spacecraft. Bridging this gap in
the literature, Atmospheric and Space Flight Dynamics is a unified
presentation, demonstrating that the two disciplines have actually
evolved from the same set of physical principles. Key features: *
Introduction to a broad range of modern topics in an accessible, yet
mathematically rigorous presentation * Many numerical examples and
simulations utilizing MATLAB® and Simulink® fully integrated
throughout the work * Simulations presented—usually not found in
books on the same topic—are both realistic and instructive * Examples
allow readers to easily build their own simulations for aircraft,
missiles, launch vehicles, reentry vehicles, and spacecraft *
Software is used as an instructional, hands-on tool, moving away from
the "cookbook" approach found in other works * Supplementary material
and MATLAB/Simulink code available at http://home.iitk.ac.in/~ashtew/index_files/page000... * Numerous
illustrations and end-of-chapter exercises * Separate solutions
manual available to instructors upon request Primarily useful as a
textbook for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level
students, the work is also an excellent reference or self-study guide
for researchers and practitioners in aerospace engineering, aviation,
mechanical engineering, dynamics, astrodynamics, aeronautics, and
astronautics.
