Flight mechanics is the application of Newton's laws to the study of
vehicle trajectories (performance), stability, and aerodynamic control.
This volume details the derivation of analytical solutions of airplane
flight mechanics problems associated with flight in a vertical plane.
It covers trajectory analysis, stability, and control. In addition, the
volume presents algorithms for calculating lift, drag, pitching moment,
and stability derivatives. Throughout, a subsonic business jet is used
as an example for the calculations presented in the book.
