| Course Contents: | Derivation and analysis of the stability and dynamic behavior of aerospace vehicles, taking into account the effects of different altitude/velocity combinations. |
| Study Goals: | At the end of this course, the student will be able to: 1. Determine the stability properties and characteristic motions of aerospace vehicles 2. Predict rotational motion of aerospace vehicles by means of simulation 3. Master reference frames + transformations 4. Utilize Euler angles 5. Derive and linearize the Equations of Motion 6. Determine static and dynamic stability properties 7. Separate symmetric/asymmetric E.O.M 8. Calculate and interpret Eigenvalues and Eigenmodes 9. Apply theory to different altitude/velocity regimes 10. Identify the effect of different vehicle configurations |
| Education Method: | Lecturing and self study |
| Assessment: | Written exam |
| Remarks: | This course is the last in a series of three. It is preceded by Aerospace Design and Systems Engineering Elements I (AE1201) in BSc year 1 and followed by Aerospace Design and Systems Engineering Elements I (AE2101) in BSc year 2 The course is preceding the Design Synthesis (AE3200). |
| Set-up: | During the course students attend active lectures that cover relevant topics. Students are expected to have read the related course material in advance of class sessions; class sessions then consist of introduction of new theory, and exploration of the implications of the theory using real-life examples. |
