Aircraft Equations of Motion: Translation and Rotation! Robert Stengel, Aircraft Flight Dynamics, ! MAE 331, 2016 Learning Objectives •! What use are the equations of motion? •! How is the angular orientation of the airplane described? •! What is a cross-product-equivalent matrix? •! What is angular momentum? •! How are the inertial properties of the airplane described? •! How is the rate of change of angular momentum calculated? Lockheed F-104 Reading:! Flight Dynamics! 155-161! Copyright 2016 by Robert Stengel. All rights reserved.

Do gliding heavy airplanes fall out of the sky faster than light airplanes?! !! Are the factors for maximum gliding range and minimum sink rate the same?! !! How does the maximum climb rate vary with altitude?! !! What are “energy height” and “specific excess power”?! !! What is an “energy climb”?! !! How is the “maneuvering envelope” defined?! !! What factors determine the maximum steady turning rate?! 2 Dynamic Systems Actuators Sensors Dynamic Process: Current state depends on Observation Process: Measurement may prior state contain error or be incomplete x = dynamic state y = output (error-free) u = input
