MECH 475 - Aircraft Perf and Stats Stabil

Institution:

The Citadel

Subject:

Description:

The course applies the principles developed in applied aerodynamics to develop the equations of motion for a rigid aircraft in steady state level flight, maneuvering flight, and during takeoff and landing. These equations are analyzed to determine such performance characteristics as maximum range, endurance, turning rate, climb rate, etc. Piston-prop, turbo-prop, and jet aircraft are considered. The equations of motion are then analyzed to develop static stability criteria and investigate steady state control characteristics. Design constraints based on customer requirements, mission profiles, aircraft sizing, optimization, and presentation of performance capabilities are considered.
