Mathematical Modelling of Aerospace Dynamic Systems with Practical Applications

Mathematical Modelling of Aerospace Dynamic Systems with Practical Applications provides mathematical models for several aerospace dynamic systems: aircraft, rotorcraft, missile, UAVs, MAVs, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUWVs), and satellite-coordinate systems.

Mathematical Modelling of Aerospace Dynamic Systems with Practical Applications provides mathematical models for several aerospace dynamic systems: aircraft, rotorcraft, missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), mini air vehicles (MAVs), autonomous underwater vehicles (AUWVs), and satellite-coordinate systems. Presenting the use of mathematical models for analysis, prediction, and control of these systems, this book discusses numerous applications in aircraft/helicopter parameter estimation, guidance and navigation of these vehicles, underwater object search, aerial terrain mapping, and satellite orbit determination. It explains path planning with obstacle avoidance, object occlusion detection and tracking, and multisensory target tracking and sensor data fusion. This book is intended for senior undergraduate mechanical and aerospace engineering students taking courses in aerospace systems and dynamics, flight dynamics and control, and dynamical systems and estimation. Instructors will be able to utilize a Solutions Manual and Figure Slides for their course.
