The field of flight dynamics has evolved considerably, and is still evolving in large part because of the prevalence of feedback control systems that now dominate the dynamic response of most new aircraft. Thus, in addition to a thorough and readable treatment of more conventional topics, this book provides a much more rigorous emphasis on dynamics coupled with extensive linear-system analysis to meet the needs of today's engineers and designers.
