This book supplies the engineering background required to understand the flying qualities of todays fixed-wing aircraft, and lays the essential groundwork for control law designers. Aircraft Handling Qualities leads from the full mathematical model of the airframe to the linear models that are useful for both insight and control law design, and discusses the more common flying qualities criteria. The book is intended for final year undergraduates and postgraduates of aeronautical engineering; new entrants to the aeronautical industry.
