This title simultaneously accessible to undergraduate students and suitable for first-year graduate students. It is also cited frequently in aerospace literature and is used a professional reference. Steadiliy progresses from equations of motion and aerodynamics, through classical control, to more advanced control methods Many detailed control design examples using computer numerical tools, and simulation examples. Control design methods applied aircraft nonlinear math models, with model software details included Since the publication of the Second Edition there has been a surge of interest in small, Unmanned Aircraft (UAVs), and there have been advances in "Intelligent" Control (Neural and Adaptive Control, and also control of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems). The third edition will introduce two new chapters on this topic, written by new co-author, Professor Eric N.
Johnson of the Georgia Institute of Technology, who is a researcher and expert in this field.
