Full description of aircraft movement
• The static stability analysis presented in the aircraft design lectures is good for the preliminary design of aircraft
• Aircraft flight is a dynamic phenomenon:– Every control input or external excitation results in a dynamic response
– The dynamic response may be oscillatory and have a single or several frequency components
– The dynamic response may be damped (stable) or undamped (unstable)
• The modelling of this dynamic response necessitates the derivation of the full equations of motion of the aircraft
![Page 20: Flight Dynamics and Control - · PDF fileIntroduction •The study of the mechanics and dynamics of flight is the means by which : –We can design an airplane to accomplish](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021504/5aa66c3f7f8b9a2f048eabea/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Developing the equations of motion
• All equations of motion of dynamic systems can be derived using Newton’s Second Law.
• Two sets of equations are derived:– Sum of forces acting on the system (internal and external) are equal to its mass times its acceleration
– Sum of moments acting on the system (internal and external) are equal to its moment of inertia times its angular acceleration
• Therefore, the object of the derivation is to estimate the accelerations (linear and angular of the aircraft)
• As usual, the same equations of motion can be obtained using Lagrange’s equation (i.e. conservation of energy)
![Page 24: Flight Dynamics and Control - · PDF fileIntroduction •The study of the mechanics and dynamics of flight is the means by which : –We can design an airplane to accomplish](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021504/5aa66c3f7f8b9a2f048eabea/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Complete equations of motion
• Assembling equations (7) and (9) we get the complete equations of motion
• This is a set of 6 equations of motion with 6 unknowns, U, V, W, p, q, r.
• They are nonlinear Ordinary Differential Equations.

Symmetric aircraft
• Consider an aircraft that is symmetric about the x-z plane.
• For ever point p(x,y,z) with mass dm, there is a point p(x, -y,z) with mass dm.
• It follows that
• Similarly,Ixy = xydm
Vol∫ = 0
Iyz = yzdmVol∫ = 0

Discussion of the equations• If we can solve for U, V, W, p, q, r as functions of time, then we know the complete time history of the motion of the aircraft.
• Unfortunately, terms such as rU, pV, qW, etc and pq, r2, qr etc are nonlinear.
• Furthermore, we have only defined the inertial loads up to now.
• We have not said anything about the external loads acting on the aircraft.
