In the field of aeronautical dynamics, this book offers readers a
design tool which enables them to solve the different problems that
can occur during the planning stage of a private project. The
authors present a system for the modeling, design and calculation
of the flying qualities of airplanes and drones, with a complete
mathematical model by Matlab/Simulink. As such, this book may be
useful for design engineers as well as for keen airplane
amateurs.

The authors expound the various phases involved in the design
process of an airplane, starting with the formulation of a design
tool, under the form of a 0D mathematical model (dimensionless,
time dependent), before moving on to explore the behavior of the
airplane under certain circumstances and offering insights into the
optimization of airplane flying qualities. As validation of this
model, they present a numerical result, drawn from data collected
on an existing plane - the Concorde.

The dimensional process is then explored and applied to a realistic
drone project. Recommendations on the development of the principal
characteristics of the plane (i.e. mass distribution, air load,
wing span) are given.

Contents

1. 0D Analytical Modeling of theAirplane Motions.

2. Design and Optimizationof an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle
(UAV).

3. Organization of the Auto-Pilot.
This book provides a description of the modeling, design, and
calculation of the aeronautical qualities of airplanes and drones.
Divided into several parts, this book first summarizes all the
necessary theoretical developments about the equations of motions
and trajectory calculations of the machine. It then goes on to
describe practical building processes and considers piloting
methods. The last part makes a comparison between theoretical
calculations and measured recorded data of the real flying
machine.

Accompanied by a complete mathematical model in MATLAB/SIMULINK
