ABSTRACT
This chapter will discuss several aspects of the dynamics, stability, and control of aircraft. Only low-speed (subsonic) aircraft will be considered and only enough wing theory will be presented for the purposes of basic stability analysis. There are a large number of reference books and articles dealing with aerodynamics and the stability and control of aircraft (see, for example, Babister 1980; Dole 1981; Etkin 1972; Etkin and Reid 1996; Hunsaker and Rightmire 1947; Hurt 1960; Irving 1966; McCormick 1995; McReuer et al. 1973; Vincenti 1988).
