Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets
introduces the reader to the concepts of modern control theory
applied to the design and analysis of general flight control
systems in a concise and mathematically rigorous style. It presents
a comprehensive treatment of both atmospheric and space flight
control systems including aircraft, rockets (missiles and launch
vehicles), entry vehicles and spacecraft (both orbital and attitude
control). The broad coverage of topics emphasizes the synergies
among the various flight control systems and attempts to show their
evolution from the same set of physical principles as well as their
design and analysis by similar mathematical tools. In addition,
this book presents state-of-art control system design methods –
including multivariable, optimal, robust, digital and nonlinear
strategies – as applied to modern flight control systems.
Advanced Control of Aircraft, Spacecraft and Rockets
features worked examples and problems at the end of each chapter as
well as a number of MATLAB / Simulink examples housed on an
accompanying website at http://home.iitk.ac.in/~ashtew that are
realistic and representative of the state-of-the-art in flight
control.
