Download or read book A Generic Stability and Control Tool for Flight Vehicle Conceptual Design: Aeromech Software Develoment written by Gary John Coleman (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the conceptual design (CD) phase, various solution concepts must, and should, be explored to select the best flight vehicle size and configuration in order to meet the mission requirements. As the aerospace industry advances novel aerospace flight vehicle configurations promising larger operational performance and overall efficiency, demanding integrated flight vehicles like the flying wing configuration (FWC) or blending wing body (BWB) are under investigation. Some of these novel configurations rely on novel control effectors (CE) and complex flight control systems in order to obtain the desired performance objectives. Clearly, stability and control plays an important roll in the design of advanced flight vehicles.
