MEE 440 - Flight Vehicle Performance

Institution:

University of Dayton

Subject:

Mechanical Engineering

Description:

This course is intended to introduce the student to the flight mechanics of aerospace vehicles. Some familiarity with aircraft performance, static stability and control is assumed, but not required. We will use modern analysis methods to develop the topical details including: 1) a study of aerodynamics involved in-flight vehicle motion to obtain an understanding of influence coefficients; 2) use of linear algebra to develop a rational approach to modeling aircraft dynamics; 3) an introduction to modern control theory methodology; and 4) problems and examples that illustrate the use of desktop computational tools currently available. Prerequisite(s): (EGM 202; MEE 401, 225; MTH 219) or permission of instructor.
