Elementary Flight Dynamics with an Introduction to Bifurcation and Continuation Methods

Aimed at junior and senior undergraduate students, this book covers recent developments in airplane flight dynamics and introduces bifurcation and continuation methods as a tool for flight dynamics analysis. Designed to help the student make the transition from classroom calculations to the real-world of computational flight dynamics, it presents an updated version of the aerodynamic model with the corrected definition of the rate (dynamic) derivatives.
