Download or read book Flight Mechanics of an Elastic Symmetric Missile written by Charles H. Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The free-flight motion of an elastic missile is approximated with three bodies connected by two massless elastic cantilever beams. If the mass distribution of the three bodies is 1-2-1, the frequency of the symmetric oscillation of the outer bodies is within 5% of the classical frequency of the oscillation of a free-free beam. A second combined pitching antisymmetric flexing motion can occur with a frequency that is almost twice that of the symmetric flexing motion. As the beam stiffness is reduced, the symmetric flexing motion frequency approaches the rigid body aerodynamic zero-spin frequency, and the flight zero-spin aerodynamic frequency is considerably reduced. Moderate beam damping can cause dynamic instability for spins greater than the zero-spin aerodynamic frequency. Resonance mode amplification can occur when the spin is equal to the zero-spin aerodynamic frequency, but more importantly it can occur when the spin is equal to the two elastic flexing frequencies. Spin-yaw lock-in occurs at the lower elastic frequency.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Airplane Flight Mechanics written by David G. Hull and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-01-20 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flight mechanics is the application of Newton's laws to the study of vehicle trajectories (performance), stability, and aerodynamic control. This volume details the derivation of analytical solutions of airplane flight mechanics problems associated with flight in a vertical plane. It covers trajectory analysis, stability, and control. In addition, the volume presents algorithms for calculating lift, drag, pitching moment, and stability derivatives. Throughout, a subsonic business jet is used as an example for the calculations presented in the book.
Download or read book Basic Flight Mechanics written by Ashish Tewari and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents flight mechanics of aircraft, spacecraft, and rockets to technical and non-technical readers in simple terms and based purely on physical principles. Adapting an accessible and lucid writing style, the book retains the scientific authority and conceptual substance of an engineering textbook without requiring a background in physics or engineering mathematics. Professor Tewari explains relevant physical principles of flight by straightforward examples and meticulous diagrams and figures. Important aspects of both atmospheric and space flight mechanics are covered, including performance, stability and control, aeroelasticity, orbital mechanics, and altitude control. The book describes airplanes, gliders, rotary wing and flapping wing flight vehicles, rockets, and spacecraft and visualizes the essential principles using detailed illustration. It is an ideal resource for managers and technicians in the aerospace industry without engineering degrees, pilots, and anyone interested in the mechanics of flight.
Download or read book Missile Aerodynamics written by Jack Norman Nielsen and published by AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics). This book was released on 1988-01-01 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The similarities between the airplane and the missile extend beyond their flying capabilities, and at higher operational speeds, the configuration distinctions become even less apparent. " Missile Aerodynamics," a classic now available from AIAA and Nielsen Engineering and Research, Inc., combines the best of missile and airplane aerodynamics, drawing extensively from numerous technical papers to present a rational and unified account of the principles behind missile projection. Evaluate the missile versus the airplane in a multitude of areas, from longitudinal acceleration, wing loading, roll and dynamic stability, guidance and navigation, and more. J.N. Nielsen covers every aspect of missile aerodynamics, from the classification of missiles and basic formulas to innovative aerodynamic controls. In one reliable reference, readers will find hundreds of schematics, equations, and tables with practical applications in missile design and engineering. Originally published by Nielsen Engineering and Research, Inc.

Download or read book Automatic Control of Aircraft and Missiles written by John H. Blakelock and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1991-09-03 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Second Edition continues the fine tradition of its predecessor by exploring the various automatic control systems in aircraft and on board missiles. Considerably expanded and updated, it now includes new or additional material on: the effectiveness of beta-beta feedback as a method of obtaining coordination during turns using the F-15 as the aircraft model; the root locus analysis of a generic acceleration autopilot used in many air-to-air and surface-to-air guided missiles; the guidance systems of the AIM-9L Sidewinder as well as bank-to-turn missiles; various types of guidance, including proportional navigation and line-of-sight and lead-angle command guidance; the coupling of the output of a director fire control system into the autopilot; the analysis of multivariable control systems; and methods for modeling the human pilot, plus the integration of the human pilot into an aircraft flight control system. Also features many new additions to the appendices.

Download or read book Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle Dynamics written by Peter H. Zipfel and published by AIAA. This book was released on 2000 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A textbook for an advanced undergraduate course in which Zipfel (aerospace engineering, U. of Florida) introduces the fundamentals of an approach to, or step in, design that has become a field in and of itself. The first part assumes an introductory course in dynamics, and the second some specialized knowledge in subsystem technologies. Practicing engineers in the aerospace industry, he suggests, should be able to cover the material without a tutor. Rather than include a disk, he has made supplementary material available on the Internet. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
