AERO32202 Flight Dynamics 10 Semester 2 Undergraduate Level 3 Khristopher Kabbabe Unit coordinator 1 FHEQ level (Framework for Higher Education Qualifications) ' Last part of a Bachelors ' European Credit Transfer & Accumulation System Rating : 5.0 <p><i><strong>Flight dynamics</strong></i>&nbsp;is the study of the performance, stability, and control of a wide range of airborne vehicles. It is a subject which underpins the performance and safe operation of such vehicles. This course deals with the dynamic stability and control of aircraft, especially the dynamic response of aircraft to atmospheric disturbances and pilot control input. It provides the necessary ground-work to the students to understand the principles of flight dynamics which are essential in the design of aircraft. The intended learning outcomes are focussed on the understanding of flight dynamic principles and the development of skills for the analysis and evaluation of the stability and control characteristics of aircraft. The course is delivered via a combination of lectures, workshops, tutorials and flight simulator lab session.&nbsp;</p> <p><strong><em>Flight dynamics</em></strong>&nbsp;is the study of the performance, stability, and control of a wide range of airborne vehicles.
