About Introduction To Tensor Flight Dynamics: A Paradigm
Flight dynamics is shifting from vectors to tensors in order to adapt to the ever-increasing computer power available for solving complex aerospace problems. Computers love to chew on matrices, which are the counterparts of tensors. The physics of flight dynamics are modeled first by tensors independent of coordinate systems. Then, for computation, coordinate systems are introduced to convert the tensors into matrices. This textbook introduces the novice to tensor flight dynamics, requiring only basic skills in matrix algebra and differential equations. UAVs, rockets, subsonic and hypersonic aircraft animate the discussion, illustrated by more than one hundred figures and tables. The didactic value is enhanced by forty-two problems—with detailed solutions provided in the appendix—of which seventeen require the use of MATLAB®, SCILAB, or similar matrix-based scripted software.Other publications by the author:Modeling and Simulation of Aerospace Vehicle DynamicsBuilding Aerospace Simulations in C++Fundamentals of Six DoF Aerospace Simulations and Analysis in C++Advanced Six DoF Aerospace Simulations and Analysis in C++Modeling INS/GPS/Star-Tracker in 6 DoF
