	Flight dynamics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Flight dynamics is the science of air and space vehicle orientation and control in three dimensions.
		The three critical flight dynamics parameters are rotations in three dimensions around the vehicle's coordinate system origin, the center of mass.
		The motions relevant to dynamic stability are usually too short in duration for the motion of the Earth itself to be considered relevant for aircraft.

	Reference Desk, Literature, Flight Mechanics, Performances, Aerodynamics
		One of the least understood problems of flight in the early days was the handling quality.
		The author starts from the basis of steady motion, free flight, symmetric and asymmetric moments, complete equations of motion, and includes numerical solutions for small disturbances (not a simple thing in the 1930s).

	Insect flight
		An important key to solving the mystery of insect flight, Wang said, is the understanding of the vortex "shedding" and how the vortices behave when they separate from the moving surface that created them.
		Any theory of insect flight has to account for both viscous and inertial effects, Wang said, noting that in a fluid environment like air, inertia is a force due to the motion of the fluid itself as fluid particles are carried along by their own velocity.
		Biologists with high-speed video cameras have been able to document the oscillating motions of insect wings as they move up and down and change pitch by tilting the edges, and the complex motions are beginning to be incorporated in the design of robotic "insect" wings.

	Head-up Guidance
		The presentation of all primary flight data in the pilot's forward field of view eliminates transitions from head-down to head-up flying.
		The pilot views this critical information, focused at optical infinity, as conformal with the outside world view.
		Using the displayed flight path and acceleration information, it is possible for the pilot to fly very accurate approaches to a precise landing in all conditions, even in turbulence, crosswinds and on fl hole approaches.

		Flight Dynamics takes a new approach to the science and mathematics of aircraft flight, unifying principles of aeronautics with contemporary systems analysis.
		Its comprehensive treatment of flight dynamics makes it the broadest in its class and constitutes a major contribution to the aerospace community.
		It is more comprehensive than any other work on flight dynamics I have seen; it includes newer concepts, such as neural nets and wind shear effects, some of these reflecting the author's own research; and it gives a very broad view of flight dynamics.

		Flight dynamics is a rather broad area that relates the aerodynamic and propulsion characteristics of an aircraft to its flight characteristics, stability and control, and overall performance.
		While aerodynamics, propulsion, and performance are addressed in other sections, the questions answered here are primarily devoted to how planes are designed to make them stable and controllable during flight.
		The cruising speed for this plane is listed as 340 mph (547 km/h), but the trip from London Heathrow to New York is stated as taking 15 1/2 hours.

	Golf Ball's Interaction with Air
		It is the combination of the lift and drag properties of the ball, as well as its speed, launch angle and spin rate, which will dictate the flight path or trajectory of the ball, and thus the distance it will go.
		Most balls on the market today have thus converged to the middle ground with between 350 and 450 dimples (although one company produced a ball with 812, which didn’t set the world on fire).
		Although there are many factors which have a direct impact on increased driving distance over the past 2 decades, one of the most important factors for increased driving distance over the years is the golf ball.

		Head-up display manufacturer Flight Dynamics, a division of Rockwell Collins, outlined its future technology strategy to AIN during a recent visit to the company’s Portland, Ore., facility.
		When AIN visited Flight Dynamics more than two years ago, a senior marketing manager stated that while EVS was an interesting concept, HGS already provided Cat III guidance and adding EVS might not repay what was then a very substantial investment.
		Finally, should the crew be uncertain about the aircraft’s actual position, they can instantly switch the HGS display to show a plan view of the airport’s runways and taxiways, with an aircraft symbol showing their location and, equally important, pointing in the direction they are headed.
