C.) Flight mechanics. Required and available thrust / power. Take-off and landing. Cruise flight. Descent. Range and endurance. Flight performance. Flight and load envelops. Energetic approach in trajectory optimisation. Stability and controllability. Static longitudinal flights.
D.) Flight dynamics and control. System of equation of motion. Longitudinal and lateral motion. Effects of manoeuvres and gusts. Dynamic stability. Controllability. Supermanoeuvrability. Thrust vectored control. Bifurcation analysis. Chaos in aircraft dynamics. Control of flexible bodies. Load management. Flight simulations. Calculation and estimation of the aerodynamic coefficient from the in-flight measurements. Automatic control. New control methods: adaptive, reconfigurable methods, methods based on the biological principles, formation flights, etc. Autonomous systems. Flight of UAV, drones. Pilot in loop. Less skilled pilots. Pilot subjective decisions.
15. Description of practices
PhD student have not studied the flight mechanics, flight dynamics and control earlier must perform a homework, namely calcualtion or simulation studies of flight performance stability and controllability of an aircraft; systematic consultancy on a special project and working individually on proposal or contribution an article.
16. Description of labortory practices
As it required for performing the practical works.
