Automatic?Control of Atmospheric and Space Flight Vehicles? is perhaps the first?book on the market to present a unified and straightforward?study?of the design and analysis of automatic control systems for both atmospheric and space flight vehicles.?Covering basic control theory and design concepts, it is meant?as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in modern?courses on flight control systems.?In addition to the basics of flight control, this book covers a number of?upper-level topics?and will therefore be of interest not only to advanced students, but also to?researchers and practitioners in aeronautical engineering, applied mathematics, and systems/control theory.
