Explore the connections among aeroelasticity, flight dynamics, and control with an up-to-date multidisciplinary approach. New insights into the interaction between these fields, which is a distinctive feature of many modern aircraft designed for very high aerodynamic efficiency, are fully illustrated in this one-of-a-kind book. Presenting basic concepts in a systematic and rigorous, yet accessible way, this book builds up to state-of-the-art models through an intuitive step-by-step approach. Both linear and nonlinear attributes are covered and, by revisiting classical solutions using modern analysis methods, this book provides a unique perspective to bridge the gap between disciplines. Numerous original numerical examples, including online source codes, help to build intuition through hands-on activities. This book will empower the reader to design better and more environmentally friendly aircraft, and is an ideal resource for graduate students, researchers, and aerospace engineers.
