Flight Simulation

By Wayne Durham, Kenneth A. Bordignon, Roger Beck
An authoritative work on aircraft control allocation by its pioneers

This is a print replica reproduction of a comprehensive and fascinating illustrated history of the USAF Arnold Engineering Development Center (AEDC) in Tennessee, with unique stories of test and simulation work performed for America's top aerospace programs - from the F-105 Thunderchief to the new Orion NASA space capsule.

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.

As the sister book to “Introduction to Multicopter Design and Control,” published by Springer in 2017, this book focuses on using a practical process to help readers to deepen their understanding of multicopter design and control. Novel tools with tutorials on multicopters are presented, which can help readers move from theory to practice.

The Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in Britain provided a remarkable air service during World War II. In the manner of a modern courier company the ATA delivered from the factories and transatlantic arrival points the hundreds of aircraft that were needed each day by the RAF and Royal Navy Air Arm.
