Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire
At the end of the module, the student knows the fundamentals of aircraft static stability, controllability and maneuverability. In particular he learns the analytical tools to deal with problems related to longitudinal and lateral-directional preliminary design and performance analysis. The acquired knowledge also allows the student to address aircraft trim and loading problems.

Metodi didattici
Class lectures.
Numerical exercises and simulations.
Modalità di verifica e valutazione dell'apprendimento
The exam consists of a single session in which the student should first answer a written test. The test is later discussed with each student and oral questions are proposed about theoretical aspects. The student must show a sufficient skill in writing down and commenting the mathematical models as well as the physical aspects.
Strumenti a supporto della didattica
Flight simulation software.
Numerical exercises and simulations.
Symbolic calculus tool.
