# Flight Mechanics

## MANE-4090

Performance, stability, and control of airplanes. General equations of motion for rigid aircraft, aerodynamic forces and moments, quasi-steady and non-steady flight paths. Generalized performance methods, flight envelope. Small disturbance theory, stability derivatives, longitudinal and lateral static stability. Basic airplane motion, response to control actions and to atmospheric disturbances. Automatic flight control. Simulation of aircraft performance and dynamics.
